Five year old kidnapped

Around 7.30 p.m. yesterday, Richa was playing with her friends outside her house. While Aggarwal was visiting some acquaintances at that time, Richa8217;s mother Krishna and elder sister Neha, 7, were at home.

A groundnut vendor in the vicinity reportedly told the police that he spotted Richa walking with a tall man around the same time. The man8217;s face was partially covered with a shawl.

8220;I thought the man was an acquaintance. Besides, I did not notice anything suspicious. And she was not crying,8221; says the vendor who knows Richa.

The police say the children, who were playing with Richa, have also confirmed that a tall man approached her. He reportedly offered to buy her sweets, if she accompanied him.

A senior officer says: 8220;It is likely the man knows about Aggarwal and his business8221;.
