2017 का चालीसवां केस
Case 40/2017
Sujit Gatta's son Alok Gatta goes missing after leaving for a nearby Atta
Chakki. His parents are looking for him but get shocked when they receive a
ransom call of rupee 50 lac in the evening. Discussing with the elder brother
Bhupendra Gatta, Sujit informs this to the police, and police start the
investigation of this kidnapping. Police are unable to find kidnapper's cell
phone location and the sim card registration is also fake. A week passes but
nothing fruitful appear so the case is now handed over to SIT.
After a week another ransom call comes and kidnapper asks Sujit Gatta to reach a
market place with ransom amount. As per police's instructions, Sujit goes to
that place but after spending a few hours no kidnapper comes to take the ransom.
He comes back empty-handed and then again receives another call from a kidnapper
who warns Sujit to stay away from Police. He also tells that he was aware of the
police's presence at the spot.
Sujit and his family force police to stay away from the case and again Sujit
goes to another place to pay the ransom, unaware of the police's plan. Police
again send another team behind Sujit. Kidnappers again identifies police and do
not come before Sujit. This time again Sujit comes back empty-handed.
Series of incidents happening with the family reminds the head of SIT another
kidnapping case reported almost a year ago in the nearby area and the victim
Rakesh Gatta was also a relative of this Gatta family. Are these cases really
connected?
Rakesh Gatta was a medical student who was kidnapped by the same gang. That gang
offered him to have a part of the ransom amount and do not share it with anyone
but later they killed him. These four members of the gang were students and
preparing for bank PO exams together in the same house. Mastermind and the
member used to make ransom call was handicapped.
