Encounter in Moradabad: Kidnapped child recovered in five hours, two miscreants injured in firing

Both are being treated in police custody. Class II student Vaidik Gupta (7), who was riding a bicycle outside the house from Sector 9-B of Buddhi Vihar Colony at around 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, was abducted by car riders.

About an hour later, Vaidik’s father, Navneet Gupta, received a call from an unknown number demanding ransom. Navneet Gupta’s son, who works as a technician for a private telephone company, studies at Vaidik Aryans International School.

Vaidik was riding a bicycle outside the house at the time of the incident. Suddenly, the accused, in a white WagonR car, abducted Vaidik. After receiving information about the kidnapping, five teams under the guidance of SSP Hemraj Meena, SP Dehat Sandeep Kumar Meena, and SP City Akhilesh Bhadoria got involved in the investigation.

At around six in the morning, the car involved in the kidnapping was traced in the Bilari police station area. After this, the teams surrounded the car. Seeing themselves surrounded by the police team, the kidnappers got out of the car and started running in the fields.

When the police tried to stop them, the miscreants fired at them with pistols. In retaliatory firing by the police, two miscreants were shot in the leg, after which they were arrested.

The arrested miscreants have been identified as Ankush, a neighbor of the child, and Vicky Mehta, a resident of Linepar, Majhola. Both miscreants have been admitted to the district hospital. SSP Hemraj Meena told reporters that a cash prize of Rs 25,000 will be given to the team that nabs the accused.
