Bollywood actor and comedian Sunil Pal, who went `missing` on Monday, has claimed he was `abducted` in Delhi but has now returned home safely in Mumbai. On Tuesday, his wife Sarita lodged a missing complaint with Mumbai Police, but hours later she announced that he was safe and reached home.

Sunil Pal paid Rs 8 lakh for his freedom 

Speaking to Hindustan Times, Sunil Pal said he was invited to a private birthday party in Haridwar to perform a comedy show, for which he was paid 50 percent in advance. He elaborated, “They sent a car for pick up at the airport. I was shifted to another vehicle after one hour. That was the point when my nightmare started. I was told that they had kidnapped me, blindfolded me, and taken me to a place. They said they had weapons, stressing that my life was in danger. There were 7-8 people, some drunk, shouting at me.”
