Orthopaedic Surgeon kidnapping in UP: 1 arrested, cops indicted for botching up FIR
Mathura: The police have arrested 1 of the four accused who had kidnapped an Orthopaedic Surgeon two months ago and later released him for Rs 52 lakh ransom. After the safe release of the doctor, the Mathura police officials who were on this abduction case; were indicted of blatant corruption and criminal conduct as per the internal probe of the police department.
According to the police, the incident took place on December 10th last year when the Dr Nirvikalp Agrawal was kidnapped near Govardhan crossing on NH-2 while he was returning home from work. He was released the same night after his wife paid a ransom of Rs 52 lakh to the kidnappers. Terrified, the doctor did not approach the police to report about the incident.
A month later, the surgeon again received a call on January 19 by the kidnappers, demanding another Rs 50 lakh from him. This time, the doctor built up the courage and called the police informing them about the extortion call and his earlier abduction.
