At 7 am on April 30, the 17-year-old student was waiting for a friend to go to a coaching class. The student got off as his friend reached on a bike. At the time, a car with registration number MH31 FR9394 was parked there. There was a driver and three people sitting in it. He called out to the student and asked him to get into the car. When the student refused, the accused said he wanted to talk to him about something important. Despite his refusal, the accused kept on insisting.
