Sources said the bandits took Rs 12 lakh for his release though neither his kin nor officials are speaking over the circumstances that led to his return to his home.

Katare's kin were initially asked to pay Rs 25 lakh. The police had failed to catch the dacoits and the youth was in bandits' custody since then. Dacoit Dhara Singh Sikarwar is suspected to be involved in this abduction.
