Ransom demand, but no call record

Kolkata: Two days after allegedly being kidnapped in Domjur area of Howrah district, a class IV student was rescued by police on Monday evening.

A senior police officer said Md Irfan (9) had been reported missing outside his Domjur home from the afternoon of January 2.

While his businessman father reportedly got a ransom demand for Rs 10 lakh on his mobile phone, the police, who tracked all his calls, pleaded ignorance about any ransom demand.

Finally, a district police team pinpointed a shelter outside Howrah town and rescued Irfan this evening, he said.

Unconfirmed reports, however, claimed Irfan was rescued from a house in Khidderpore area of south-west Kolkata.

There was no immediate report about any arrest.
