Kidnapped Darbhanga student rescued from train in Aligarh
Kanpur: A day after the family of Abhishek Thakur, a class XII student of Darbhanga district in Bihar, alleged that the boy had been abducted, the police recovered him from Swarna Jayanti Express at Aligarh railway station on Sunday. His abductors, however, managed to flee.
The police said, “Abhishek, a resident of Ganj Chowk locality under the limits of Bahadurgarh police station in Darbhanga district of Bihar, was on his way to attend tuition classes when he was allegedly abducted after being sedated by four unidentified men on Saturday evening.”
However, on Sunday morning, when he regained consciousness, he found himself in a train at Kanpur Central railway station.
Soon, he alerted his fellow-travellers, who immediately apprised about his location to his parents on phone in Darbhanga.
As per the police, the kidnappers had till then made several ransom calls to Abhishek’s father Ravindra Thakur and told him that his son had been kidnapped and asked him to pay ransom for his safe release. The matter was immediately brought to the notice of the Bahadurgarh police, who in turn tracked the mobile details of the ransom call and apprised Kanpur police after tracing their location.
Deputy commissioner of police (Crime) Kanpur Salman Taj Patil subsequently formed a team and launched a search operation to locate Abhishek.
“As the train had left for onward journey from Kanpur Central, a police team was deputed at Aligarh railway station. As soon as the train reached Aligarh, sleuths of the Crime branch conducted a search and recovered Abhishek from seat no: 80 in the coach no: S -8 of the Swarna Jayanti Express. The boy was found to be in possession with a school bag, a lower, school report card and few other documents. After procuring details with regard to the abductor’s identity, the investigators handed him over to his relatives, who had come from Delhi,” the DCP said on Monday.
