8-yr-old freed from kidnapper

NEW DELHI: The east district police on Friday rescued an 8-year-old boy who had been kidnapped from New Ashok Nagar on February 9.
The police said that the man, who has been arrested for kidnapping the boy, was his father''s tenant.
"Accused Sachidanand Chaudhary was absconding since the boy was reported missing. He had left his job in an export factory in Noida and had fled to Bihar," said deputy commissioner of police (east) Nuzhat Hassan.
A police team, headed by inspector Ashok Tyagi, was sent to Choudhary''s hometown, Rohtas in Bihar.
The boy was rescued following a raid on Chaudhary''s house, said Hassan.
"He told us that he was planning to extort Rs 8 lakh from the boy''s family. He, however, failed to contact the boy''s family as their phone was out of order," added Hassan.
