UDHAMPUR, June 3: Unable to repay money borrowed from neighbours for his daughter’s marriage, a man staged his own kidnapping and fled from home but was traced by police within 24 hours of receiving a complaint of missing.
The man, identified as Kaku son of Panjabu, a resident of Jungle Gali, under the jurisdiction of Police Post Tikri, also tried to falsely implicate his sister-in-law with whom he had some dispute since long.
According to the police, father of the man filed a complaint at Tikri Police Post on Wednesday that his son had gone missing under mysterious circumstances and that his clothes were found near their house.
Acting swiftly, a Police team comprising Incharge PP Tikri, Inspector Jaswinder Singh was constituted that swung into action and traced the missing man today from Khalda-Sukal Gali area on Udhampur-Reasi border.
During interrogation, the man told police that he was unable to repay Rs 1.5 lakh he had borrowed from locals for his daughter’s marriage and that he staged his kidnapping to avoid the lenders. Kaku has been working as a labourer at Katra and was finding it difficult to repay the amount taken as loan for his daughter’s marriage.
By disappearing, he also wanted to create an impression that he was kidnapped and murdered by his brother’s wife who had recently filed a civil suit against him.
