Adnan Patrawala was the teenage son of a businessperson from Mumbai, India. On 18 August 2007, Adnan was kidnapped for ₹2 crore (US$300,000) ransom. He was murdered the next day when news of the kidnapping broke on national TV and print media.
Following are the accused and their age at the time of the incident;

By the time the kidnappers made a ransom call, the kidnapping made national news so Adnan's kidnappers strangled him and dumped his body in Palm Beach road, Navi Mumbai and took local trains home.
On 30 Jan 2012, Mumbai sessions court acquitted four of the five accused. The prosecution failed to prove its case. Aslam Patrawala (father) said that he would appeal in a higher court. Being a juvenile, the fifth accused was tried by the Juvenile Justice Board.
