Mathura: Man plots nephew’s kidnapping to escape wedding expenses

Aman was kidnapped at the behest of his maternal aunt’s husband, Suresh Kumar Chand, whose daughter is getting married today, the SSP said.

Sharma hatched a plan to kidnap Aman, who had come from Ludhiana with his parents to attend the wedding, hoping that a pall of gloom would drastically cut down the number of guests, he added.

The accused roped in his brother and his sister’s son to execute the plan, Kumar said.

No arrests have been made in the case so far and a manhunt is on to nab the kidnappers, he said.

The police is likely to arrest Sharma on Saturday, post his daughter’s wedding.
