Boy abducted by tutor in Punjab rescued near Nepal border, accused arrested

Hoshiarpur, Apr 27 (UNI) A 13-year-old boy, who was allegedly abducted by his tutor about one-and-
a-half months ago, has been rescued by the police, who also arrested the kidnapper from near the Nepal border, officials said on Sunday.
SI Gursahib Singh said the boy, a native of Kangra district in Himachal Pradesh, was currently living with his parents in a rented accommodation in Hoshiarpur. Studying in Class 7, the boy used to take tuition from Bhupinder Singh (51), a resident of Dashmesh Nagar, daily between 3 pm and 7:30 pm.
According to the police, Bhupinder Singh convinced the boy’s parents to allow him to take the child to Shimla for two days. However, after taking the boy with him, the accused blocked all contact numbers of the boy’s family and prevented the child from speaking to anyone.
The boy’s parents searched for him on their own for around 18 days, but when they failed to trace him, they lodged an FIR, under sections which deal with the punishment for kidnapping or abducting someone with the intent to secretly confine them, at the Model Town Police Station on April 2.
The police employed technical and scientific methods to trace the accused, who kept changing his location frequently to evade arrest.
Eventually, police located the accused at a hotel in Darjeeling, West Bengal, and arrested him two days ago. The boy was safely recovered.
Police said the accused had taken the boy close to the Nepal border and there was a strong possibility that he could have crossed over into Nepal with the child.
The rescued boy has been produced before the Child Welfare Committee (CWC), while the accused was presented before a court, which remanded him in four-days' police custody for further interrogation. The police are investigating the motive behind the kidnapping.
The boy will be produced before a judge tomorrow for recording his statement under Section 164 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC), the SHO added.
