A 29-year-old man, who had gone untraceable five-days-ago after he took a shared ride in a cab, was on Monday found outside a temple in Gurugram, police said.
Varun Vohra, who works in a finance firm in Gurugram, was untraceable since June 27. Police were suspecting that he had been kidnapped by members of Zeher Khurani gang, that robs people after offering them food laced with sedatives.
After he could not be reached on his cell phone, his family in Uttam Nagar approached police and a kidnapping case was registered at the Uttam Nagar police station.
Despite scanning the records of unidentified dead bodies found in the last few days and the medico-legal cases that came to hospitals in UP, Faridabad and Gurugram, there was no trace of Vohra, said Deputy Commissioner of Police (Southwest) Surender Kumar.
It was also found that transactions were carried out using Vohra’s card at some ATMs during the period.
Vohra’s parents received a call from him on Monday that he is standing outside Sheetla Mata Mandir in Gurugram and he was brought home.
Vohra has not been able to give a clear recollection of the events that unfolded in the last few days but could recall that the men had overpowered him in the cab and then roamed around in different places in the vehicle, police said.
Vohra does not recall the places he was taken to or the ATMs where he was made to withdraw money by the accused. He is saying that he has not slept properly in the last few days and does not recall where he was taken.
However, he has alleged that he has withdrawn around `80,000 from various ATMs and the accused, numbering three to four men, also took away his cell phone before dumping him at the temple.
