The gang had released the child and later asked the  businessman to inform his family by telephone of the ransom demand.                                               He said the businessman  had told his abductors it was not possible to raise such a large amount  of money without his presence at his business place. He had therefore  sought his release with a promise that the money would be delivered the  next day.                                               The abductors decided  to release the hostage after threatening him with death if he spoke to  the police or any others.                         The businessman later called from a leading  Colombo private hospital, telling the men to come there to collect the  money.                                                Colombo Crime Division  Officers dressed in civvies ambushed the Major when he was returning  after having collected the money from the businessman at an upper floor  of the hospital. The two accomplices waiting for the Major on the ground  floor near the lift were also arrested.                                               Police said they were  searching for two more accomplices who were waiting in a vehicle outside  the hospital.<a href="http://sundaytimes.lk/101017/News/nws_03.html" target="_blank">ST</a></blockquote>
