Among the arrested are Sikander Kumar of Dheena, Sukhjinder Singh of Partapura and Gurdev Kaur of Samravan Colony. The main accused, Amandeep Singh, is still absconding.

Police said Amandeep Singh of Kot Sadik wanted to marry his girlfriend and planned to kidnap the boy along with the other accused to generate money for the marriage.

The boy told the police that yesterday when he was going on a bicycle, a Honda City car stopped close to him and the driver asked the way to some village.
