Family unable to pay ransom, kidnappers kill 15-yr-old Rampura boy

Date:

Bathinda, November 21: The body of the 15-year-old boy who was kidnapped from Rampura, 35 km from here, on Tuesday, was found on Wednesday morning.

The kidnappers called up the family and asked for Rs 2 crore as ransom. When the family expressed its inability to pay the huge sum, the kidnappers settled for Rs 80 lakh.

Then the family sounded police, who arrested the two kidnappers on Wednesday morning and recovered the body.

Dushyant Garg alias Anmol, a resident of Shaheed Bhagat Singh Nagar, was kidnapped on Tuesday evening. The deceased was a student of Class 11 and his father runs a repair shop near the bus stand.

Kidnappers called Anmol’s father Vivek Kumar on his phone around 9.30 pm and demanded ransom of Rs 2 crore. During the second phone call when the ransom was reduced, Vivek told them that he had only Rs 35,000 and would be able to arrange the money by Wednesday morning.

Vivek asked the kidnappers to let him talk to his son, but they did not.

SSP Nanak Singh said, “Two accused have been arrested and the boy’s body recovered. The accused have been identified as Jaspal Singh of Kararwala village in Bathinda and Harsh Gandhi of Ludhiana. The boy was murdered with a sharp weapon and his throat has been slit.”
