Mahendragarh’s law enforcers set a new benchmark in crime-fighting by solving a brazen daylight kidnapping and thrashing incident in mere 90 minutes. Five men, two of them real brothers, are now in custody, marking a victory for prompt vigilance.
Eyewitness to his own ordeal, Pradeep Kumar recounted the horror: While tending to his plot in Deenlal Colony at 9 AM, a black Scorpio screeched to a halt. Four rough-looking youths dragged him inside, pummeling him with lathis until he could barely stand. They shoved him into the vehicle and sped off to Bhadf Bani, summoning a fifth man for round two of the beating.
The motive? A simmering old debt. The gang coerced Pradeep with intimidation tactics, then returned to his residence for paperwork. Unbeknownst to them, police were hot on their trail.
SHO Pawan Kumar detailed the response: Control room tip-off triggered instant action—teams deployed, nakabandis enforced. CCTV and witness statements pieced together the sequence: assault at plot, Scorpio getaway with victim’s Swift in tow.
The dragnet closed in swiftly. Arrests followed for Deepak and Himanshu (Pathreda), Sandeep (Bhagdana), Vinod (Malda Sarai), and Anil (Devas). Vehicles recovered, case filed under IPC. Deeper inquiries reveal Anil’s financial grudge pulled in his network.
Local communities are applauding the police’s razor-sharp execution, a reminder that crime doesn’t pay when officers act decisively.
