The odd behaviour of a neighbour, who stopped taking his pet dog for usual morning walks, helped the Rachakonda police crack the kidnap of a minor boy and rescue him.
The Malkajgiri Police, along with the Special Operations Teams (SOT), formed eight teams to probe the kidnap of the 13-year-old, who was rescued on Saturday morning from Palakurthi in Warangal. Though the gang denied intending to harm the boy, officials seized knives, plastic ropes and handcuffs from them.
Rachakonda Commissioner D.S. Chauhan said that the mastermind behind the kidnap was Sunkesula Shiva, 22, who has been planning the mission for a month and teamed up with his cousin Sunkesula Ravi, 24, his friends Katukoori Dilip and Pasika Mahipal, and a 17-year-old juvenile from the locality.
