Nine years after three persons were booked for abducting a Class XII student of DAV School,Sector 8,Panchkula,the court of Additional District and Sessions Judge Sanjeev Jindal on Friday acquitted the third accused for lack of evidence. Kashmir Singh,a Kurukshetra resident,was acquitted after the Panchkula police failed to produce enough evidence against him. Two others Lakhwant Singh,resident of Kurukshetra and Hajara Singh,a resident of Kaithal had been acquitted earlier.

It was on October 24,2000,that 17-year-old Himanshu was abducted while he was on his way to school with his 16-year-old sister Bhawna.

Bhawna had said that the kidnappers abducted her brother and fled in a Tata Sumo, said a police officer,while adding: Himanshus father,Surinder Kumar,had accused his business partners for the abduction. He said the motive was to recover the Rs 3 lakh he owed to them.

The following day,on October 25,2000,Himanshu managed to escape from near Guhla,in Kaithal,and reached home.

Based on the information provided by Himanshu,a case under Sections 364 (kidnapping in order to murder),452 (house trespass),506 (criminal intimidation),323 (voluntarily causing hurt) and 120-B (criminal conspiracy) of the IPC was registered against Kashmir,Lakhwant and Hajara in the Sector-5 police station. The trio was later arrested in September 2004.
