Noida: In what could be termed a dramatic turn of events, police in Greater Noida on Monday foiled a kidnapping and extortion bid after an encounter, rescuing the child in less than 24 hours. The boy was allegedly kidnapped on Sunday from Greater Noida after which the child's father, a grocery trader, received a phone call allegedly asking for a ransom.
"An 11-year-old child had been missing since 12.30 pm on October 2. The father then received an extortion call, asking for Rs 30 Lakh," said Abhishek Verma, the Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), Noida.
