Delhi Police Rescue 13-Year-Old Kidnapping Victim Using UPI Tracking Within Hours
Delhi Police rescued a 13-year-old boy in northeast Delhi within three hours after he was allegedly kidnapped and a ransom of Rs 40,000 was demanded. The police traced the kidnapper by transferring Rs 5,000 through the accused's UPI barcode, leading them to a cybercafe in Karawal Nagar. They then sent another Rs 5,000 to lure the suspect, identified as Akash, who was arrested while collecting the ransom. The boy was safely recovered, and police seized the scooter and mobile phone used in the crime.
