Abduction bid: Function keeps police busy

PANCHKULA: Even a day after six-year-old foiled his kidnapping bid, the police failed to make any breakthrough. Panchkula police was busy revelling in the inaugural function of OR’s mess at Moginand police lines, Panchkula on Tuesday, instead of laying nakas and making efforts to nab the culprits.
“Despite it being summer vacations, our parents are not letting us play. They say kidnapping gang is on the prowl we can’t move out of our houses at any time. After Monday’s incident, we fear to move out in the evenings even. It seems someone is watching us,” said Daksh Malhotra, 9, a resident of Sector 10.
Taniya Singh, a resident of Sector 2, said. “Ever since, this incident, I fear going out with my daughter. You never know who their next target is.”
Meanwhile, parents of Jashan, 6, who foiled his kidnapping attempt by biting on the arm of one of the abductor, waited for over an hour in the police station and came back. “We were asked to come on Tuesday morning and so that sketches could be prepared. But we sat there for about an hour and then we were told that either the person concerned is on leave or he might be busy at the police function,” said Vinod Tembla, father of Jashan.
