Police Investigation and Ransom
Upon receiving the missing person report, the police began a search operation that included the use of drones over Nahargarh Hills. They suspected a dispute might be the motive behind the kidnapping. During their investigation, the kidnappers contacted Anuj's family, demanding a ransom of Rs 20 lakh. Unable to immediately provide the large sum, the family requested additional time.
Operation and Arrests
The kidnappers instructed the family to deliver the ransom money in the last carriage of the Kalka-Shimla Express train. Anticipating this move, the police strategically positioned their teams along the train’s route. When the kidnappers directed the family to drop the money near Dharampur railway station, the police apprehended the individual who came to collect the ransom.
This initial arrest led to further investigations, resulting in the capture of the remaining suspects. The mastermind behind the kidnapping, Virendra Singh, a software engineer, was identified as the primary orchestrator of the scheme. The police are continuing their search for an additional suspect still at large.
