Gang held in Tirupattur for abducting school student
Special police teams analysed CCTV camera footage and mobile phone signals, before tracing the boy at a hideout in Bengaluru
On September 17, a 17-year-old school student, S. Sanjeev Kumar, failed to return home from his Government Boys Higher Secondary School in Tirupattur. His father, T. Sivakumar, a farmer, was contacted by phone by unidentified individuals demanding a ransom of ₹50 lakh for the release of his son. T. Sivakumar promptly reported the incident to the Alangayam police.
Special police teams conducted a thorough investigation, scrutinizing CCTV camera footage and analyzing mobile phone signals to track the whereabouts of the student. The search led them to a hideout in Bengaluru. Upon coordinating with local law enforcement, the special team apprehended the suspects and safely recovered the abducted youth.
Three individuals - R. Harish, 22, V. Bhuvanesh, 24, and G. Desingh, 21 - were arrested by the Alangayam police on charges of abducting the student and attempting to extort money from his parents. All three suspects are residents of Alangayam town. They have been transferred to the sub-jail in Tirupattur for further investigation. The police are actively probing the case.
