MAN KIDNAPS GIRL'S FATHER, FORCES HIM TO SAY "MARRY HIM, HE'S GOOD BOY"

In a bizarre case, a 24-year-old youth kidnapped a man who turned down his request to marry his daughter. The youth, identified as Sanju, forced the captive father to telephone his daughter and tell her that she should marry him as he was “a good boy”.

According to NDTV reports, Sanju, teamed up with three of his friends and abducted the girl's father from the shop where he worked in Delhi's Dwarka area. Sanju then forced the captive father to telephone his daughter and tell her that she should marry Sanju as he was "a good boy".

During the conversation, the father also blurted out that he was in Sonepat in Haryana. By then, the police had been called in and was in action, the NDTV further reported.

According to Deputy Commissioner of Police Anto Alphonse, "Sanju was arrested on Monday night from Mathura in Uttar Pradesh with the help of technical surveillance after a team headed by ACP Rajinder Singh Yadav and Inspector Sanjay Kumar rescued the victim. Sanju borrowed a car from a friend and joined three friends to execute his crime. A hunt is on to nab his friends."

"The daughter told investigators that she knew Sanju and suspected he could have kidnapped her father. The police teams tracked the locations of the mobile numbers from where calls had been made to the girl in Baraut, Meerut and finally Mathura," the officer said.

Media reports say that during interrogation, Sanju disclosed that he wanted to marry the man's daughter but was opposed to their union and had also shifted his daughter to their native place.
