Life Convict Arrested After 26 Years in 1995 Rs 1 Crore Kidnapping Case
Amit Yadav, convicted in 1999 for kidnapping Rishi Sethi in 1995 and demanding a Rs 1 crore ransom, was arrested after evading police for 26 years. He fled following interim bail granted in 2000 and lived under changed identities in Uttarakhand. Yadav was caught in Dehradun, where police recovered Rs 10 lakh ransom money and rescued Sethi, who had been held captive in Ghaziabad. Yadav’s appeal was dismissed, and a reward was offered for his arrest during his long abscondence.
