Etawah: Jeweller’s 21-yr-old son kidnapped

Eyewitnesses told the police that about five armed men dragged Prashant into the Bolero and drove away.

The traders have threatened to intensify the agitation if the police do not make any breakthrough in the next 24 hours,said victim’s father Ramesh Pandey.

Etawah SSP Nilabja Choudhury said the reason behind the youth’s abduction is yet to be known as the kidnappers are yet to contact the family.

Choudhury also said the family are tight-lipped about any enmity or threat,which could have led to the kidnapping. He also said since the victim belonged to a well-off family,they could not rule out the possibility of ransom.

Jaswant Nagar circle officer (CO) Narendra Dev said people could not see the vehicle’s number. The border was sealed,but the Bolero could not be traced. The police have picked up five suspects for interrogation on the basis of information provided by the victim’s father.
