Adobe CEO's kidnapped son rescued

NEW DELHI: After five days of anxiety, Adobe CEO Naresh Gupta's kidnapped son Anant Gupta was rescued by NOIDA police on Friday from the Noida-Bulandshahar border.

Three-year-old Anant had been kidnapped by two motor cycle-borne youths when he was on way to his school with his maid on November 13. He was snatched away from outside his residence in the posh Sector 15-A of Noida.

Police have not yet disclosed the operational details of the rescue. Rajesh Pandey, DSP of UP Police, talking to a TV channel said that the three-year-old has indeed been rescued and been restored to his parents.

Later on Friday, the police are likely to disclose the details of the rescue operation and also whether any ransom was paid. All the top police officials have reached Naresh Gupta's residence.

While preliminary reports reaching here didn't confirm how and where Anant was found, reports said a Delhi police team was in Chambal on Thursday afternoon, hunting for dreaded dacoit Jagjivan Parihar's gang.

Police sources earlier said the abductors had handed over Anant to Parihar and a ransom of Rs 2 crore had been demanded for his release. Parihar, the dreaded dacoit, carries a reward of Rs 5.15 lakh on his head.
