A 33-year-old street food vendor was allegedly abducted by four persons and held captive at a house in Maharashtra's Thane district after he failed to repay a loan he had taken from one of the accused, police told news agency PTI on Monday.

The victim, who used to sell 'pani puri' (a spicy snack) at a stall in Kalyan town, had taken a loan of Rs one lakh at five per cent interest from a person about one-and-a-half years back, an official from MFC police station in Kalyan told PTI.
