Several teams formed to track those who abducted MNC employee

NEW DELHI: Delhi Police have so far failed to ascertain the identity of those who allegedly abducted and assaulted a senior consultant of an MNC here even as it formed a number of teams today to trace the people involved.

Police have shown the victim, Sumit Chakraborty, photographs of several habitual offenders in Andrews Ganj area of South Delhi and questioned several persons but have so far drawn a blank as far as the identity of the accused is concerned, a senior police official said today.

The abductors took the victim from Andrews Ganj bus stand to Noida, that is for sure, and later threw him out of the car near south Delhi's Malviya Nagar. But the routes they took in between could not be ascertained as Chakraborty was mostly blind-folded, police said.

Investigators are also trying to track his robbed mobile phone but that too has been of little help, the official said, adding that several teams, including the Special Task Force of Delhi Police's south district, have been pressed into service to crack the case.

The 55-year-old senior consultant of a multinational company was thrashed and robbed of cash and other belongings by a group of men who allegedly abducted him from south Delhi's Andrews Ganj area on the pretext of offering a lift in their car yesterday.

The incident took place at around 7 am when Chakraborty was waiting at the Andrews Ganj bus stand to go to his office in Noida.

The group allegedly robbed Chakraborty of his gold ring, watch, and mobile phone before dropping him at a secluded stretch in south Delhi. The victim managed to reach a private hospital nearby from where he called up police.
