A kidnapping and extortion case involving actor-comedian Sunil Pal has been registered by Mumbai Police, following a complaint filed by Pal. The case, which was initially registered at Santacruz police station, has now been transferred to Uttar Pradesh authorities, as per Pal's statement. The comedian alleged that he was abducted while travelling to Uttarakhand for a show, and subsequently extorted for a large sum of money.

According to an official from the Santacruz police station, Pal's statement was recorded on Thursday, in which he detailed the shocking events leading up to his abduction. The comedian claimed that while on his way to Uttarakhand, he stopped for snacks at a roadside stall. It was then that a man, who allegedly posed as a fan, forced Pal into a car. The abductors then demanded a ransom of Rs 20 lakh for his release.
