The Bengaluru police on Saturday night raided a house in Palamner in Chittoor district of Andhra Pradesh and rescued a 10-year-old son of a businessman from KR Puram here, who was kidnapped for ransom earlier in the day.
The police arrested Naresh, Jagadish, Anil, Venkatesh, Rajesh, Ponnaswamy and Subramani for the crime. "Naresh, the prime suspect, is an employee of the boy's father Haresh Patel, the proprietor of Vinayak Timber Yard at Devasandra in KRPuram. Naresh had closely observed Patel's financial transactions and hence plotted his son's abduction to make big money," Deputy Commissioner of Police(East)NSatheesh Kumar told DH on Sunday.
In fact, Naresh and Jagadish had accompanied Patel to the KRPuram police station to lodge a complaint after the boy was kidnapped, the police said.
"The kidnappers had kept the boy at the house of Venkatesh's relative in Palamaner. The police raided the house around 11 pm on Saturday and rescued the boy. The kidnappers had given chocolates, biscuits and food to the boy and had not harmed him," the DCP said.
Naresh sought help of his close friend Jagadish to kidnap the boy. Jagadish in turn requested his friends Rajesh, Ponnaswamy and Subramani, all residents of Hosur in Tamil Nadu to help Naresh. Subsequently, Subramani contacted his friends Anil and Venkatesh of Sigehalli near KR Puram and promised to pay them if they help Naresh in kidnapping the boy, the police said.
Acting on the instructions of Naresh and Jagadish, the five kidnapped the boy from Hoodi-Ayyappanagar Main road, around 8 am on Saturday when he was walking towards his school along with his grandfather.
A little later, Patel got a call on his mobile phone and the caller told him that the boy was in his captivity. The caller said he would call again to demand ransom for the boy's release. Immediately, Patel along with Naresh and Jagadish went to the KRPuram police station and filed a complaint.
"We verified the call details of the number from which a call was made to Patel. We found that the caller was in constant touch with Jagadish and Naresh in the last one week. The call logs provided the crucial lead in cracking the case," the DCP said.
The police questioned Jagadish and Naresh who confessed to the crime. Based on the call details and inputs given by Jagadish and Naresh, a police team raided the house in Palamaner and rescued the boy after arresting Anil and Venkatesh.
Another police team nabbed the three others in Hosur. The kidnappers had decided to demand a ransom of Rs 1 crore from Patel. However, they dropped the idea as they feared that Patel might approach the police as the amount was too huge, the police said.![]( "The police arrested Naresh, Jagadish, Anil, Venkatesh, Rajesh, Ponnaswamy and Subramani for the crime.
