Expressing his shock, Mohammed Saleem, a building site supervisor, recounted the distressing encounter in a TOI report, stating, “The person on the phone didn’t show any proof that my son was with them. I tried to tell them that we’d do what they said, but they got mad and wouldn’t talk anymore.”
Saleem’s son, Abdul Mohammed, pursuing a Masters in IT at Cleveland University since May 2023, had ceased contact with his family since March 7. Concerned relatives in the US complained with Cleveland police, prompting a lookout notice for Abdul Mohammed.

In WhatsApp messages to Abdul’s father, the caller conveyed the severity of the situation and threatened to withdraw assistance if payment was not received within 30 minutes. Faced with this ordeal, the family sought aid from the Indian consulate in Chicago on March 18 to assist in tracing Abdul.
Reacting swiftly, Saleem alerted a relative in Washington to inform Cleveland police about the call immediately after the distressing conversation took place.
