Two Arrested in Kidnapping and Robbery of Elderly Man in South Delhi

On May 2, three individuals forcibly entered the home of a 72-year-old chartered accountant in Sainik Farms, South Delhi, assaulting and restraining him before looting cash, valuables, and documents. They kidnapped the victim in his vehicle, demanding Rs 50 lakh ransom and coercing him to arrange Rs 15 lakh under false pretenses. After failing to secure the money, the accused abandoned the victim and his car on the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway in Haryana. Two suspects were arrested following a 36-hour police pursuit, while efforts continue to locate the third.
