Punjab: Two kidnappers arrested within hours, victim rescued safely

Phagwara, June 29 (UNI) The Phillaur police, under the leadership of DSP Sarwan Singh Ball (PPS), have successfully rescued a kidnapped man and arrested two prime accused within hours of the incident being reported.
According to police officials, the case came to light on June 27, when Kamaljit Kaur, wife of the victim Teja Singh of Chaharra village, District Ludhiana, called the emergency helpline 112, reporting that her husband had been kidnapped and the perpetrators were demanding Rs 20,000 for his release.
Acting promptly, a team of Phillaur police station, with assistance from the technical cell, traced the location of the victim using his mobile number.
Based on the coordinates, the police team successfully located and rescued Teja Singh and arrested the two kidnappers — Mandeep Singh of Jagatpura Panjdera and Kamlesh Singh of Tehing village.
During interrogation, it was revealed that the accused were part of an organized gang, including Narinder Kumar of Jagatpura and Kiranjit Kaur also from Jagatpura. The gang operated a 'honeytrap' scheme where Kiranjit Kaur would lure unsuspecting men to her house under false pretenses.
Once the victim was engaged in a relationship with her, the male members of the gang would arrive at the location, abduct the individual and demand ransom.
On the day of the incident, the victim Teja Singh was taken by the gang on different motorcycles to the remote area of Jhandepeer near the Sutlej river. He was later confined at an under-construction house belonging to Kiranjit Kaur.
Thanks to the swift action of police, the victim was safely rescued, and the kidnappers were arrested from the scene.
Police also recovered five mobile phones, one motorcycle and a toy pistol used to intimidate the victim.
The accused were presented before the local court, which remanded them to police custody for further investigation.
Authorities are probing deeper into the activities of the gang and suspect more victims
may come forward.
