Mohali, May 16 -- A Ferozepur man was allegedly held captive for two days, assaulted and robbed by a group of men posing as CIA staff in Balongi, police said.

While the abduction took place on May 4 and he was released on May 6, the victim, Parvinder Singh, told police that the accused warned him against reporting the incident, threatening him with death.

Before releasing him, the accused also extorted money through digital transfer and demanded ransom from his family, the victim alleged.

On May 8, his family admitted him to the civil hospital in Ferozepur for medical treatment and police in Mohali were eventually alerted.

Launching a probe, police arrested one of the accused, while others remain at large.
