The betrayal of a best friend

How well do you know your 'best friend'?

A wealthy pilot told yesterday how he was kidnapped and blackmailed for £1million by his best friend. Zahid Khan was ambushed as he visited Rizwan Jahangir to show off his new Rolls-Royce, worth £250,000. The 28 year old said Jahangir and three other men blindfolded him and bundled him into a car. 

He was held at gunpoint for more than seven hours as the gang ordered him to hand over £1million in exchange for his life. Mr Khan persuaded the men to accept £10,000, which they collected from his relatives. Long story cut short, Jahangir and three others were jailed for a total of 41 years at Birmingham crown court. Jahangir who was the ring leader was jailed for 13 years after he was found guilty.

Mr Khan said that he grew up with Jahangir and they had known each other for 15 years before the betrayal.

Some so called 'besties' are just there in one's life to see what they can gain from one. Some are so full of envy just like this case shows. Poor guy wanted his friend to share the joys of his success but instead, his 'friend' showed his true colours by kidnapping him. Do you have stories of 'best friend' betrayal.
