Ola cab driver abducted by trio who wanted his car to ‘smuggle alcohol’

The incident took place on the intervening night of June 29 and 30, when the taxi driver, Mohan Shyam, was allegedly abducted by three persons at gun-point while he was waiting for a passenger in Pitampura.

The accused forced Shyam inside the space between the front and backseats of the car, and started beating him up, said police. One of the accused drove the car, while the other two took away his gold ring, wrist watch, mobile phone and wallet, said police. They allegedly dumped Shyam near Jajru Mor in Faridabad and fled with the vehicle, said police.

“While investigating the case, police got a tip-off that the accused were in Palwal, and two of them were headed back to Delhi. They were arrested in Sarita Vihar,” said Deputy Commissioner of Police (northwest) Vijay Singh.
