Mushtaq Khan (born December 31, 1959) is an Indian film and television actor and comedian who has worked in several Hindi films in a career spanning three decades.[1] He is best known for his roles in films like Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke (1993), Jodi No.1 (2001) and Welcome (2007).[2]
Mushtaq was born on December 31, 1959 in Baihar town of Balaghat district Madhya Pradesh to a Muslim family. He is widely known for his role of a disabled hockey player in the movie Welcome (2007).[3]
2024 kidnapping
Khan was reportedly kidnapped on the Delhi-Meerut highway, with kidnappers demanding a ransom of ₹1 crore.[4]
On 20 November 2024, Khan was invited by the kidnappers in the pretext of an award show in Meerut. According to his business partner Shivam Yadav, he was misled into a car upon arriving in Delhi and taken to a remote location near Bijnor, where he was tortured for 12 hours.[5]
Khan managed to escape after hearing the morning Azaan and sought help from locals.[4]
Initially, he didn’t file any complaint after escaping, but after a similar incident happened with comedian Sunil Pal, Khan registered an FIR in Bijnor, providing evidence including flight tickets, bank transactions, and CCTV footage, following Pal’s wife’s police complaint.[6]
Uttar Pradesh Police identified two main accused named Lavi Pal and Arjun Karnwal behind both of the cases.[7][8]
The Police arrested four accused identified as Sarthak Chaudhary, Sabiuddin, Azim, and Shashank involved in the case. Police also recovered ₹1 lakh from their possession.[9]
The case drew attention due to its timing with the ongoing investigation into Sunil Pal's kidnapping case a week before Khan’s case.[6][10]
