In a daylight kidnapping drama, which unfolded here today, some unidentified persons, allegedly owing allegiance to the ruling SAD-BJP alliance, attacked Congress worker Atul Singla with sharp-edged weapons and bundled him into a SUV.
Atul, along with one of his friends, was going towards the city area on a motorcycle when some unidentified persons intercepted their bike near Baba Shershahwali chowk. The assailants allegedly hit Atul with a sharp-edged weapon and then bundled him into the SUV.
Meanwhile, his friend ran towards the SSP’s residence, which was located nearby, and informed the police about the incident. Gurdeep Singh, SHO, who was passing through that area, followed the SUV. When they saw the SHO’s vehicle following them, they drove the SUV into the residence of former Chief Parliamentary Secretary Sukhpal Singh Nannu.
The police raided Nannu’s bungalow and rescued the Congress worker. The police officials said Nannu was not present at his residence when the incident took place. However, the assailants escaped.
Meanwhile, the Congress worker was admitted to the local civil hospital where his statement was recorded by the SSP Hardial Singh Mann. The SHO of the Ferozepur Cantonment police station, Dalbir Singh, said the police has registered a case under section 364, 324 of IPC against Rajesh, alias Bobby, Ravi, Lally and Manoj besides some other unidentified persons.
Meanwhile, Sukhpal Singh Nannu said he had no knowledge about the incident.
