Ahmedabad: A businessman on Wednesday allegedly abducted and robbed off Rs 53 lakh at knife-point by two unidentified persons in Sola area of the city, police said.

Mr Patel claimed that when he was going home in his car after withdrawing around Rs 53 lakh from a bank, a van rammed into his car near Sola over bridge. Two men came out of the van and got into Patel's car. Before he could say anything, they held a knife to his throat and asked him to drive towards Ognaj village, was said by police inspector DV Rana.
