Abducted TD leader freed in Jharkhand
Abducted TD leader freed in Jharkhand
Sahibganj superintendent of police A. Vijayal-akshmi told this newspaper that police found a 10-member gang had kidnapped Mr Srinivas Rao, his accountant E.L. Narsi-mha Rao and driver Suraj Kumar Bhagat and kept them in a house at Dud-hkul village under Kalja-rhi police station limits.
The police formed special teams to trace the kidnapped persons and found that some locals, living near the TD leader’s place of work, had planned to kidnap Mr Srinivas Rao for ransom.
Anup Hemron, Paltu Malayya, Susen Hemron, Sannat Hemron, Harimo-han Marandi, Sunitha Marandi and Shekar Cho-wdary, and three others had abducted the trio and kept them in the hideout at Dudhkul village.
The police teams carried searches in Karajal, Pal-ejoir, Vijaypur, Kalepah-lyar, Jandya, Sarangpur and other places to trace the kidnappers.
They first found Mr Srinivas Rao’s vehicle at Hemapur village and intensified their searches.
The teams launched raids at the hideout after finding suspicious activity by non-locals in Dudhkul village.
Ms Vijayalakshmi and Sahibganj deputy superintendent of police Sasibhushan said that police arrested seven persons and recovered two country-made pistols.
Earlier, the Gheravadi police had registered a case on the complaint of Mr Madhusudhan Reddy.
The Jharkhand police ruled out involvement of habitual kidnapping gangs behind the abduction and clarified that the gang was new to these types of crimes.
Ms Vijayalakshmi handed over Mr Srinivas Rao and other two to their relatives.
Mr Srinivas Rao belongs to Oguru village of Kandukur mandal in Prakasam district and would reach his native place on Monday.

Saanvi had been abducted by unknown kidnappers in a Philadelphia township on Monday morning; in the same incident her grandmother Satyavathi Venna, 61, was killed.
A large number of people, including NRIs, attended a candle-light vigil organised by the Telugu Association of North America in Satyavathi’s memory.
Meanwhile, the local police and the FBI continued their search for Saanvi. “This is not a typical homicide investigation,” district attorney Risa Vetri Ferman told the Philly Inquirer. “We also have the search and rescue operation,” she added.
She said investigators were being guarded with information because “we do not want to do anything that would jeopardise the child’s safety”.
The Pennsylvania State Police has issued an Amber Child Abduction Alert for Saanvi.

Venna Sivaprasad Reddy, a software engineer working in the US, had recently moved to California from Chicago with his wife Latha and their infant daughter Sravya. As Mr Reddy had asked his mother Satyavathi from Kudumulakunta village in Hanumantunipadu mandal to help with the infant, she had travelled from the US in August and was living with her son.
According to Satyavathi’s husband Konda Reddy, a few African Americans had barged into Mr Reddy’s apartment when Satyavathi was alone with the child and demanded money and gold at gunpoint. When she refused, they snatched the baby and asked Satyavathi to fulfil their demand. However, as Satyavathi tried to contact her son over the phone, the miscreants shot her and escaped with the baby; Satyavathi died on the spot. The baby was still missing, he added. Meanwhile, the police in the US has issued a child abduction alert after Satyavathi’s body was found in the apartment. “Please don’t do any harm to the kid,” said Mr Vasu Velaga, a neighbour.

Satyavati had gone to the US at the request of her son Sivaprasad Reddy, a software engineer, to take care of Sravya. The child’s mother, Latha, is a former TCS employee. The couple had recently moved from Chicago to the Upper Merion Township, Montgomery County, about 40 km from Philadelphia, in the US state of Pennsylvania.
Satyavathi’s husband Konda Reddy, a retired government teacher in Prakasam district, alleged that African Americans barged into the apartment when Satyavathi was alone with the child and demanded money at gunpoint.
