Minor girl rescued from labour contractor

5-year-old had been kidnapped only two hours earlier

She was abducted and rescued in a matter of few hours. 5-year-old Sangeeta was recovered by the Delhi police on Sunday from the clutches of a labour contractor. At around 6.30pm on July 4, Sangeeta was on her way home in Shahabad Dairy, with her mother Champa Devi (25) and sister Sunita (7). Suddenly a man and a woman on a bike arrived and abducted Sangeeta.

"We received a PCR call of kidnapping at around 6.30 pm. Our team immediately approached the spot and found the complainant. The girl's mother had remembered the number of the bike. A wireless message was flashed with available details. And after two hours our team arrested the accused at a check post and recovered the girl," said a police officer.

Champa Devi had a working relationship with the accused Sanjay Yadav, 24, and Savitri, 20, since the last few years. Sanjay is a labour contractor and Champa often helped him get labourers for construction sites. But a few days ago they had an altercation and Champa refused to work with Sanjay. After this Sanjay got angry with her and decided to teach her a lesson.
