The police arrested three of the accused after an encounter while they traced the businessman’s whereabouts to Haridwar. The trader had gone missing on Thursday
The Ghaziabad police rescued a city-based businessman just 48 hours after his abduction. In a major operation, the police arrested three of the accused after an encounter while they traced the businessman’s whereabouts to Haridwar. The trader had gone missing on Thursday.
According to a police official, the encounter took place around 5pm in Ramnagar area of Haridwar on Saturday.
Acting on a tip-off, and using surveillance of abducted victim’s phone the police team managed to trace the accused.
“Following a tip off, we had traced the victim’s location in Haridwar so we took help of the Haridwar police and reached Ramnagar tehsil. The three men were spotted and on seeing us they reacted and fired upon us,” said Hari Narain Singh, senior superintendent of police, Ghaziabad.
“In retaliation, we fired back and rescued the businessman from their possession and managed to nab the accused. During the crossfire a constable and two accused were injured,” Singh added.
The police have identified the accused as Pradeep Singh, a native of Jind, Haryana, Rashid, a native of Narayanpur, Meerut and Mohsin, a native of Meerut.
On Thursday night, Anil Kumar Arora, a 45 year old business man from Govindpuram area of Ghaziabad, was allegedly abducted from outside his factory premises. Arora runs JV Industries, a steel manufacturing company near Sihani Gate in Ghaziabad.
According to the complaint filed by Manish Arora, brother of victim Arora, at 8.45 pm, when Arora went outside his factory premises to start his scooter and reach home, a vehicle stopped by and started asking him questions.
He was last seen getting inside the vehicle by the security guard of his factory. Ten minutes later, Arora’s phone was found switched off
At 2 am, a call was made from Arora’s phone to his family where one of the alleged abductors demanded Rs 2 crore in ransom.
“During the call, we had put the victims’ phone on surveillance, and it was then that a team of the Ghaziabad Crime branch reached Haridwar. The abductors had somehow realized that they were being followed by police after they picked a fight in Ramnagar. As soon as a mob started encircling them, they deserted the car and started running. The victim is alright and he is being taken to Ghaziabad,” said a senior police official.
The police have identified the accused as Pradeep Singh, a native of Jind, Haryana, Rashid, a native of Narayanpur, Meerut and Mohsin, a native of Meerut.
