The police informed that the arrest happened within two hours of the alleged abduction of a young man in a grey car near Kamla Nagar on Sunday. The police traced the victim, identified as Vishesh, to a park in the Gulabi Bagh area.
On Sunday, a PCR call was received at Police Station Roop Nagar regarding kidnapping/abduction from near Kaventre Shop, Kamla Nagar. It was found that the victim had been forcibly taken away by five persons in a grey-coloured car after assaulting him, DCP North Delhi Niharika Bhatt said.
As this happened, the police team alerted other staff on patrol and picket duty. The location of the victim was traced to the Gulabi Bagh area. The team rushed to the location of the victim, and after reaching the spot, they heard the sound of cries and shouting from a park. They found the victim, Vishesh, along with five other persons, namely Shubham, Swayam, Dhruv, Tanmay and Rishi.
All five persons were apprehended within two hours, and the vehicle was taken into police possession, the DCP added.
According to the police, during the inquiry, the victim stated that at about 11:00 PM he was sitting with his childhood friend Deepak near the shop.
