DRDO SCIENTIST’S Kidnapped SON, 5, found dead
A five-year-old boy who was kidnapped and held to ransom on Sunday was found strangulated in the Pashan area of Pune on Monday. The boy, Shubh Bhupendar Rawal, was the son of a scientist couple working with the Defence Research Development Organisation.
The Chaturshrungi police arrested two people in connection with the case, including a 15-year-old minor boy. The boy had gone missing late on Sunday evening and his body was found in the early hours on Monday near the pumping station close to the Armament Research Development Establishment (ARDE) boundary wall. Parminder Swarnsingh, (19), the other arrested accused is a resident of DSSC quarters, in the Ramnagar area of Pashan suburb and a first year hotel management student. He was also working part-time with a fast food chain in the city.
“He got the idea last week and discussed it with his minor accomplice after which they zeroed in on Rawal as the potential victim. He was acquainted with his parents since they lived in the nearby colony and knew that they could afford to pay a ransom. The minor boy earlier refused to be part of the plot but was lured into it after Swarnsingh offered him money,” said a police official.
