2024 kidnapping

Khan was reportedly kidnapped on the Delhi-Meerut highway, with kidnappers demanding a ransom of ₹1 crore.
On 20 November 2024, Khan was invited by the kidnappers in the pretext of an award show in Meerut. According to his business partner Shivam Yadav, he was misled into a car upon arriving in Delhi and taken to a remote location near Bijnor, where he was tortured for 12 hours.
Khan managed to escape after hearing the morning Azaan and sought help from locals.
Initially, he didn’t file any complaint after escaping, but after a similar incident happened with comedian Sunil Pal, Khan registered an FIR in Bijnor, providing evidence including flight tickets, bank transactions, and CCTV footage, following Pal’s wife’s police complaint.
Uttar Pradesh Police identified two main accused named Lavi Pal and Arjun Karnwal behind both of the cases.
The Police arrested four accused identified as Sarthak Chaudhary, Sabiuddin, Azim, and Shashank involved in the case. Police also recovered ₹1 lakh from their possession.
The case drew attention due to its timing with the ongoing investigation into Sunil Pal's kidnapping case a week before Khan’s case.
