Nagpur, Dec 1 (PTI) A phone call made by a drunk man to his wife that he was being kidnapped and taken to an undisclosed location for being killed sent hundreds of police personnel in Hingna area of Nagpur city into tizzy for several hours, although later it came to light that he had made the call under the influence of liquor and the claim he had made was false, an official said on Wednesday.
