JD(S) leader HD Revanna taken into custody in kidnapping case as court denies interim protection

<p>In a bizarre turn of events, Australian police arrested two suspected kidnappers who were found sleeping inside a vehicle, authorities confirmed on Friday. The incident unfolded in Brisbane, Queensland, when the two men allegedly abducted a man and a woman early morning on Thursday.</p>

<p>Inside the vehicle, the law enforcement officers stumbled upon an array of disturbing items, including zip ties, bleach, hacksaw blades, wire snips, and even a blowtorch. Additionally, a significant amount of cash and drugs was also found, suggesting a potentially sinister motive behind the kidnapping.</p>

<h2><strong>Highlights</strong></h2>

<ol>
	<li>Two men kidnapped a man and a woman on Thursday</li>
	<li>They parked their vehicle after driving the hostages 80 km</li>
	<li>They fell asleep in the car while the victims managed to escape and call police</li>
	<li>Police officials arrested the two men who were caught napping&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Two men now face an array of serious charges</li>
</ol>

<h2><strong>Victims managed to escape their kidnappers</strong></h2>

<p>The victims, aged 33 and 42, were transported approximately 80 kilometres (50 miles) south to a suburb on the Gold Coast, where the captors eventually parked the vehicle in a car park. Thankfully, the man and woman managed to escape their kidnappers just after 8 am (local time) and immediately contacted the police.</p>

<p>When police officials came at the site, they found the kidnappers snoozing inside the car, seemingly unaware of the fact that their hostages had fled from their clutches.</p>
