Jalandhar November 20:
Members of the family of Arshnoor, a four-year-old boy, who was kidnapped for ransom by two motorcycle-borne youths on Monday evening, heaved a sigh of relief after the police handed over their son to them here this afternoon.
The kidnappers made a phone call to the victim’s house in the Santokhpura locality, informing them that Arshnoor had been safely released in a park in Adarsh Nagar this afternoon. The family members subsequently informed the police and the boy was recovered from the park.
Talking to reporters, child’s mother Prabhjot Kaur said Arshnoor was initially under shock but recovered later. “Though he could not recall the sequence of the events, we are not putting him under undue pressure to do so,” she said. SP (city-I) S.K. Kalia claimed that the kidnappers released the boy following police pressure. The police had already launched a hunt to nab the kidnappers.
Sources revealed that the police also recovered the motorcycle used by the kidnappers in committing the crime. Arshnoor was kidnapped by two motorcycle-borne youths for a ransom of Rs 30 lakh from outside his house in the Santokhpura locality on Tuesday evening. They had picked up the boy in the presence of the family members, put him on the bike and sped away from the scene.
