Boy abducted from school bus rescued Man objects to rash driving; chased, killed
Cops raid Ghaziabad highrise, teen abductor killed
NEW DELHI: A five-year-old boy, abducted 12 days ago from a school bus in east Delhi, was rescued from an apartment building in Ghaziabad after a gunfight in which one of the suspected kidnappers was killed, police said on Tuesday.
A police inspector and a commando were hit on their chests, but did not suffer serious injuries because they were wearing bulletproof vests in a midnight rescue operation, police said.
The boy, Class 1 student Vihaan Gupta, hid next to a bed during the exchange of fire and escaped unhurt.
Vihaan and his seven-year-old sister were on their way to school on the morning of January 25, when two men on a motorcycle intercepted their school bus in Dilshad Garden, barged into it, and dragged the boy out. When the bus driver tried to speed away to save the child, he was shot in the leg. Police said this was the fourth attempt by the kidnappers to grab Vihaan in just over a week.
On three occasions, they had abandoned the plan because of “unfavourable conditions”. NEWDELHI: A 44-year-old property dealer was shot dead allegedly by a group of four men in a case of road rage in northwest Delhi’s Bhalswa Dairy area on Tuesday.
Vinod Mehra, a resident of Geeta Colony, was returning home after attending a wedding when the incident took place. An argument erupted between Mehra and the men in an Eeco van after he objected to their rash driving. The men then chased his car on GT Road and blocked it.
A man emerged from the car and pointed a pistol at Mehra.
An altercation ensued and the pistol went off, hitting Mehra in the chest. HTC
