Dreaded dacoit Ramgopal aka Goppa, aka Bhola, unleashed terror in Chitrakoot when he and his gang kidnapped two local residents last Monday. Surprisingly, the police which claimed to have located the gang and engaged in cross-firing for several hours on Wednesday evening failed to rescue the kidnapees.
Now, heavy police force has been moved and a combing operation has been started to arrest the dacoits and rescue the victims which has proved futile so far.
last Monday afternoon, Sandeep (28), of Bahelpurwa and Mithlesh (35), from Pahadi area in Chitrakoot district were engaged in boring at Bahilpurwa when they were kidnapped by Goppa along with Mahendra Pasi, Rajola and three to four aides.
