A seven-year-old child was rescued from his kidnappers, who were his maternal uncle and his four associates, police said on Friday.
The accused have been arrested. Ravinder Kumar, 24, the victim’s maternal uncle and mastermind, Sandeep, 22, Anil, 22, Babita, 22 and her sister, Anjali, 24, were arrested from Badarpur in south Delhi on Thursday following police surveillance of their mobile phones.
‘The child was rescued from a house in Badarpur where he was kept hostage,’ said Ravindra Yadav, additional commissioner of police. Kumar, Sandeep and Anil kidnapped the victim on 24 November on the pretext of giving him sweets. He was abducted from a park outside his maternal grandfather’s Sarai Kale Khan house in south Delhi.
The accused initially demanded Rs14 lakh but later agreed to Rs 4 lakh after the family expressed its inability to pay such a large amount.
‘For several months, Kumar was planning to kidnap a child and get handsome ransom to tide over his financial crisis,’ said Yadav.
