A builder was abducted by his own friends to extort Rs 10 crore and 30 kilograms of gold from his family members in Ferozabad. However, fearing that they will be identified and arrested, the accused killed the builder and dumped his body in a canal to conceal the crime. The sensational disclosure came to light after local police arrested two of the kidnappers and grilled them. They later also managed to recover the body of the victim and sent it for post-mortem examination.
Reports said that 24-year-old Aditya Mittal, a resident of Circular Road in Tundla locality of Ferozabad went missing on last Monday afternoon. His uncle informed the local police about the incident on the same night soon after they received a ransom call. Sources said that the family informed the police that kidnappers had called them and demanded ransom of Rs 10 crore in cash and 30KG of gold for safe release of Aditya Mittal, a leading builder in Ferozabad. Interestingly the family also named Aditya’s friends identified as Rohan Singhal, a resident of Ganesh Nagar in Uttar Police station area of Ferojabad, Pawan Mistri, a resident of Narhki in Ferojabad, and Anuj Bij, hailing from Ganeshnagar also under Uttar Police station. The cops claimed to have registered a case and launched a hunt for the abductors. Finally on Thursdayevening, the cops managed to nab Rohan Singhal and Pawan Mistri and recovered the diamond ring owned by victim Aditya from their possession.
later after being grilled, both Rohan and Pawan revealed that they kidnapped Aditya and also made a ransom call but as the family members recognised their voices, so in fear of being arrested, they immediately killed the victim and dumped him body in a local canal at Sikohabad and escaped. Finally on Friday, the cops took the body of the victim from the canal and sent it for post-mortem examination. Efforts were now on to nab the third accused who was still absconding.
