A Class-IX student kidnapped from Bhubaneswar was rescued from an Intercity train in Sambalpur on Wednesday night. RPF personnel rescued the student from the Sambalpur Road station.
The student was identified as Satyaranjan Sahoo, son of Padmacharan Sahoo, a resident of the Unit-4 area of capital city.
According to RPF sources, Satyaranjan had been abducted by two unidentified persons on Wednesday morning while he went outside his house for plucking flowers.
The miscreants made him unconscious and locked him in a toilet of the Sambalpur Intercity train. After Satyaranjan regained his sense, he knocked at the toilet door, and one passenger opened it. He contacted his father using the passenger’s mobile phone and told about his ordeal. His father informed the Sambalpur RPF and the Shishu Kalyan Samiti, an NGO, and pleaded to rescue him.
RPF and NGO officials reached the spot and rescued Satyaranjan from the railway station.
