Kushpreet Singh was kidnapped from outside his house in Burail village Dec 21. The abductors demanded Rs.10 lakh ransom.
The victim’s family even paid a ransom of Rs.400,000 Dec 22 in the presence of police, but the kidnappers have not released the boy.
According to police, Udayapal Singh, station house officer at Sector 34, and Narinder Singh Patial, in charge of the police post in Burail, had been shunted to the police lines here.
