Puri: Within 36 hours after being abducted from Konark area of Odisha’s Puri district, a young man was rescued by police from Paradip in Jagatsinghpur district.
As per information, abducted youth Jay Chakraborty was found with his hands and legs tied, while four individuals involved in the kidnapping have been arrested and are being questioned at Chandrabhaga Marine Police Station.
Meanwhile, a hunt has been launched by the police to nab three others allegedly involved in the abduction.
As per the complainant lodged by Jay’s friend Ashok Kumar Sahu, the incident occurred when they were traveling from Bhubaneswar to Puri, and as they reached the petrol pump, two youths in a motorcycle intercepted their car and forcibly pulled Jay out.
When Jay resisted, two other miscreants got out of a car, dragged him out, and pushed him into their vehicle. They then sped away towards Konark, taking Jay captive. Thereafter, Ashok, who was in the car with Jay, immediately alerted the police.
The police acted swiftly by deploying three special teams to track down the kidnappers. These teams scanned multiple CCTV cameras in the vicinity, reviewing footage from the main roads leading from Konark, and coordinating with regional police forces to track the suspects across state boundaries.
After hours of efforts, the police rescued Jay from a house in Paradip, and four of the seven kidnappers were apprehended.
As per Ashok, around three weeks ago, a man named Chanchal Jena had allegedly abducted Jay and his sister from Digha. The two were later rescued by police, and a case was registered in connection with the incident at the Haldia Police Station.
Ashok also informed the police that on the day of the recent kidnapping, Chanchal Jena had called Jay’s sister demanding money. Police suspect that financial motive may be behind Jay’s abduction. Further investigation is in progress.
