Kota kidnap case: Girl plans own abduction to get ₹30 lakh ransom to get settled abroad with boyfriend, says police
₹30 lakh so that they could settle in another country, The Times of India reported. As per a screenshot of a WhatsApp chat doing rounds on social media, the kidnapping photographs were sent to the father. When Kavya’s father replied, saying he was sending the pics to the SP, the “kidnapper" replied: “Send it to whomever you want to.
Deposit ₹30 lakh in the bank and get your daughter back alive. Else, in the next photo, you’d find her decapitated." The father replied that he’d not be able to accumulate ₹30 lakh even if he sold all his property. He still asked for bank details so that he could deposit whatever he could.
“Send the money by the evening. Otherwise, we’ll murder your daughter," prompt came the reply. It is believed that the 20-year-old and her boyfriend had been travelling with another friend.
Police have nabbed another friend whose Indore apartment was allegedly used to take the kidnapping photos. “There has been no kidnapping. As per the available proof, the kidnapping was fake.
The student has been staying in Indore," said Kota SP Amruta Duhan. “The student had two friends with her. They had plans to go abroad for studies, for which they needed money and demanded the same from the parents," SP Duhan added.
As per SP Duhan, Kavya never became a student at the Kota Institute. She had been in Indore while the kidnapping saga unfolded, she added. Jyotiraditya Scindia, the Minister of Civil Aviation, earlier spoke to Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma over the phone and asked for help for Kavya’s rescue, as per Dainik Bhaskar.
