Prayagraj Cops Puzzled by Kidnapping of Seven-Year-Old
10 Mar
Summary
- A seven-year-old boy was rescued from Varanasi after being kidnapped.
- Police are investigating the motive behind the kidnapping, as no ransom was demanded.
- Three individuals, including the victim's maternal uncle, are being questioned.
A seven-year-old boy's kidnapping from Sarayakala village has left Prayagraj police baffled, despite his safe rescue from Varanasi on Sunday night. The child was reportedly abducted by car-borne miscreants while on his way home from school.
Authorities are diligently working to determine the motive for the kidnapping, noting the absence of any ransom demand and the family's lack of known disputes. This lack of apparent reason has made the case a perplexing puzzle for the investigators.
Following the boy's recovery near a ghat in Varanasi, police took three individuals into custody for questioning. Among those detained is the victim's maternal uncle. Detectives are scrutinizing CCTV footage and mobile data to trace the abductors' movements and identify the mastermind.
The family's financial situation is not strong, and they had no existing enmity with anyone in the village, adding further complexity to the investigation.
