Charges filed in Shahdara abduction case

New Delhi: The Delhi police has filed a chargesheet in a kidnapping case in which a five-year-old boy was brazenly abducted from a school bus on the eve of Republic Day from Shahdara.
The boy was rescued after an encounter between the police and the kidnappers on February 6 at Shalimar City in Ghaziabad’s Sahibabad area.
One of the four accused, Ravi (25), was killed in the encounter, while Pankaj was arrested. Nitin Sharma, another accused, was arrested on February 6, and Anshul Malhotra was arrested, after the boy was rescued.
They had demanded a ransom of Rs 60 lakh for the child’s release, according to the chargesheet. Nitin used to make the ransom calls in the voice of a woman to mislead investigators, the police said.
The chargesheet was filed before chief metropolitan magistrate Ajay Garg in the Karkardooma court earlier this month and the accused were booked for kidnapping, attempt to murder, theft, wrongful restraint and under provisions of the Arms Act.
