Four people who had kidnapped a 20-year-old son of a former Congress municipal councillor demanding a ransom of `50 crore have been arrested by the Crime Branch of Delhi Police.
They had planned to kidnap a rich businessman to become rich overnight, said Joint Commissioner of Police (Crime Branch) Ravindra Yadav. Anand (27), Vichitar Vir (30), Vikrant Shokeen (30) and Vinod Kumar (32), all residents of Delhi, were arrested on Friday for their alleged role in the crime, said Yadav.
The youth was released by the kidnappers last week after a settlement was reached and a ransom of `1crore was paid by the family. He was kidnapped on the morning of September 27 while going to college in his BMW car. Two men on a motorcycle, wearing police uniform, stopped him near Subhash Place here, he said.
