On Tuesday, his wife, Sarita, filed a missing complaint in Mumbai and hours later, on Wednesday, she revealed that the comedian returned home safely. Now, a video of Sunil has surfaced in which he claims he was ‘kidnapped’ in Delhi.
A video has surfaced on X (formerly known as Twitter) which shows Sunil addressing his fans. He said, “I was kidnapped on December 2 but now I have returned home safely. I have given my statement to the police. I will share more details once the police procedures are complete.”
He also thanked fans for their love and urged them to keep praying for him. Further sharing details about his kidnapping, he said, “Kidnapping Delhi se hui thi…Delhi ke border… Meerut ki taraf se. Baaki baatein main aage batate rahunga.”

Police is helping and supporting us, everything is fine with him, rest of the matter we will soon open up to our well-wishers once police allow us after complete statement procedure and FIR.”
While filing a missing complaint with the Mumbai police on December 3, Sarita had stated that the comedian was ‘very disturbed’. Sarita said her husband had travelled outside Mumbai for a show and was supposed to return on Tuesday, but he did not.
