The Palghar police in Maharashtra have arrested three persons for allegedly kidnapping a five-year-old boy. The kidnappers, however, panicked and abandoned the boy a few hours after taking him away. The boy was abducted from near his house in Nalasopara in the district on the afternoon of August 24. Kidnappers called the parents and demanded Rs 6 lakh in ransom, to be handed over at Churchgate in Mumbai. Subsequently Sakat, Rajput and Bhoir were nabbed, while a hunt is on for two others involved in the crime.
