The Medical College police on Friday arrested three persons for the alleged abduction, assault, and robbery of a youth hailing from Mankavu. The accused were identified as Mohammed Shakkeel, 30, of Kolathara, Ageesh, 31, of Kunnamangalam, and Abhiram, 24, of Beypore.
According to police sources, the incident occurred on April 4 when the victim, Vishnu, was travelling in his car in Kozhikode city and was intercepted by the three accused, who forcibly opened the door and snatched the car key from him.
The accused allegedly threatened Vishnu with a knife and robbed him of his mobile phone, silver ring, and a purse containing ₹10,500, and also forced him to reveal the Google Pay PIN number on his phone.

The court will likely hear the case in the coming days, with the police expected to submit a chargesheet against the accused.
