Man accuses cops of inaction in abduction case

Kanpur: A man from Barra area of the city has accused the local police of doing least efforts to recover his abducted son even after making him pay ransom amount of Rs 30 lakh.
According to one Chaman Singh of Barra, his son Sandeep, employed at a local pathology lab, was kidnapped on June 22. The kidnappers called up the family and demanded Rs 30 lakh. Subsequently, Singh lodged a complaint following which an FIR was registered at the Barra police station.
The family, somehow, managed to arrange the ransom amount and as asked by the police, handed it over to one of the miscreanst at Gujaini railway track on Monday (July 13) after the police assured that Sandeep would be freed unharmed. “However, the police is now saying that they are clueless about the whereabouts of the kidnappers as well as the victim,” Singh told the reporters on Tuesday.
Senior superintendent of police Dinesh Kumar Prabhu, however, said, “I am looking into the investigation of this alleged kidnapping case registered at Barra police station. Our priority is to recover the kidnapped victim,” said the SSP adding that, “Separate teams have been formed and further investigations were on to trace the criminals.”
SSP also assured to investigate the role of the cops and if found guilty, they will face strict action. The city police however landed itself into the eye of the storm on social media after the video of the victim’s family crying before the media and pleading senior police officials for help went viral on Tuesday evening.
