The kidnappers were quite cunning and they were making ransom calls from distant locations to avoid the police dragnet.

They had initially demanded Rs.14 lacs, but later agreed at 4 lacs.

OPERATION:

Sensing the gravity and seriousness of the case, South Eastern Range of Crime Branch was also roped in to work out the case and rescue the child. A dedicated team comprising of SI Ravinder Teotia, Cts Mohit and Manoj were put on the task to collect intelligence about the criminals involved in this gruesome crime.

Team of Crime Branch was continuously monitoring the movement of Ravi Gujjar and his associates, but whereabouts of the kidnapped child could not be ascertained. Keeping in view the safety and safe rescue of the kidnapped child, no direct action was taken against the kidnappers and a secret watch was maintained on the movements of the suspected kidnappers.

On 28.11.2013, the intensive hard work and painstaking effort of the team bore fruit and specific information was received that the kidnapped child was kept in the area of Baba Mohan Nagar, Badarpur, Delhi. Accordingly, a raid was conducted and the kidnapped child was rescued from C-21, first floor, Gali No.6, Baba Mohan Nagar, Badarpur, Delhi and two ladies, who were later identified as Babita (age 22 years) d/o Kalyan Ram r/o C-21, First Floor, Gali No.6, Baba Mohan Nagar, Badarpur, Delhi and Anjali (age 24 years) w/o Pratap r/o C-21, Gali No.6, Baba Mohan Nagar, Badarpur, Delhi were apprehended.

While they were looking for a soft target, Ravinder Kumar @ Ravi Gujjar’s cousin sister and her two minor children had come there to meet her parents.
