Rourkela: A youth, abducted from Kolkata
on Friday, was rescued by the police from near a temple here,
police sources said on Tuesday.
The sources said the rescued youth, Amit Sekhwal was in a
state of shock when he was rescued last night and he had some
cut marks on his body. He was admitted to a hospital and his
family members in Kolkata were informed.
A preliminary investigation revealed that Amit was
abducted by a three-member gang from Chandini Chowk market of
Kolkata on Friday and he was brought to Angul and kept under
their captivity for three days there. He was physically
assaulted and then released.
Again he was brought by an unknown man to Rourkela and
