Last week, he was nabbed while walking towards Buddhist Monastery from ISBT, police said.
He completed his secondary education from Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, and then married against his parent's wishes, hence, was disowned by his family.
During this period, he came into contact with Sushil and Anuj of his village. They lured him and roped into kidnapping the doctor for want of easy money, police said.
He was pursuing B Pharma, but dropped out after getting involved in the kidnapping, they said.
