The Prakasam police rescued an elderly man who was allegedly abducted for money and property and arrested four persons in connection with the case on June 1 (Thursday).
A special team formed by Superintendent of Police Malika Garg cracked the case in just 10 hours with the help of technology. CCTV footage obtained from a toll plaza near Cumbum helped the police identify the car purportedly used in the crime. This led to the arrest of the driver and three other persons who allegedly abducted 87-year-old Pedddireddy Ramireddy from the remote Puslapu village near Bestavaripeta when he came there to receive his old-age pension.
