When they reached Karol Bagh near Hanuman statue around 3.30 am, they forced him to stop the car. As soon as the driver opened the door of the taxi, they pounced upon him and put him inside the taxi. They gagged his mouth with hospital bandage, tied his hands and feet and drove the car towards GT Karnal Road.
