The return of Adobe CEO Naresh Gupta's son Anant came as a major relief
to not only his parents, but also to his teachers and friends (in
his school) who had given up Children's Day celebrations.
This toddler was abducted outside his house in Sector 15 A, Noida,
on his way to school, sending shockwaves through the national capital.
In a dramatic turnaround, Anant was returned by one of the kidnappers
who left him back at his doorstep.
In a press conference, things became clearer after police said
they had successfully nabbed one of the kidnappers who revealed
to a shocked media about a modus operandi which included picking
up the kid from this 'rich' locality of Noida.
Sector 15 A is one of the most affluent hubs of Noida and houses
two former Cabinet Secretaries, a former chief secretary of UP government,
four former DGPs, and a number of serving and retired bureaucrats.
The Noida SSP office and the police control room are less than half-a-kilometer
from the colony.
Following this incident, parents became paranoid about sending
their kids to school in public transport and preferred driving them
personally to school. This incident reflected rising crimes in Noida.
Slowly, police revealed some rather shocking statistics - 12 murders,
53 cases of theft, 45 cases of chain snatching and 15 incidents
of looting in Noida alone.
Residents are blaming police for their 'uncooperative' attitude
and say that anti-social elements roam freely at night, drinking
in parking lots and cars.
