Ankit, (13), a class VIII student of Central School, SGPGI, and son of RK Vishwakarma, a technician at SGPGI, was kidnapped soon after he left his Eldeco Colony residence along with two teenagers on a motorcycle on Friday evening. Ankit’s family members received five anonymous calls on the landline phone demanding ransom of Rs 5 lakh soon after the boy was reported missing.

Interestingly, no calls were received after a call identification device was installed. This has led the cops to believe that someone close to the family might also be involved in the incident. The police said that the dismissed constable and Ramesh Kalia’s men used to visit the same ground in the South City area, where Ankit used to play cricket. After the kidnapping, Kalia’s men and the dismissed constable have not been seen on the ground.
