Kidnapped on February 11, five-year-old Chandan endured torture, isolation and fear before the Bangalore police eventually rescued him on Thursday, ending his nightmarish ordeal.
The alleged abductor, Sanjay, who had demanded a ransom of Rs 25,000 to release the boy, was arrested, and charged with kidnap and extortion.
Chandan, son of Siddoji Rao alias Eshwar Rao, a resident of Mathikere, had gone missing on Monday. A special team headed by DCP North Syed Ulfath Hussain arrested Sanjay, a tenant of Siddoji Rao in connection with the kidnap. He confessed that he had hid Chandan at the house of a coolie, Devendra, in Dr Ambedkar Colony.
Devendra, however, was in search of Chandanâs parents to restore the boy to them. The boy was rescued from his house.
Chandan bore burns on his palms. The accused is said to have snubbed cigarette butts on Chandanâs palms.
Sanjay, a native of Kolkata and a painter, had moved into Siddoji Raoâs house four months ago along with his wife.
Police said that on February 11, the accused kidnapped Chandan and called Siddoji Raoâs brother Bhim Rao from a PCO booth demanding a ransom. Unable to arrange the money, the victimâs father finally approached the police on Wednesday. A police team took Siddoji Rao and his brother in disguise, to track down the kidnapper.
Meanwhile, the kidnapper continued to make calls from different PCO booths in Indiranagar, Old Tippasandra and Kasturinagar. Around 9 pm on Thursday, Sanjay made a call from a PCO in Chinasandra saying it would be his last warning. But the police who were tracking him, were at the doorstep of the booth. They nabbed Sanjay after a chase. The police are on the lookout for Sanjayâs wife who too is involved.
