No headway in kidnapping case

VADODARA, July 7: The police have failed to make any headway in the sensational case in which a Alkapuri trader, Kantilal Shah, was allegedly tortured for 36 hours for ransom by Vadodara special branch police inspector N A Rathod’s son and his accomplice.

Though more than 24 hours have elapsed, since the matter was brought to the notice of senior police officers and a case registered against the accused, no arrests have been made in this connection. According to top police sources, the PI’s son — Ghanshyam — was last seen by the police near Fatehgunj circle on Monday but could not be arrested.

Deputy Commissioner of Police (South) Mohan Jha said that police parties had been sent to various places to arrest the inspector’s son and his accomplice and hoped that the duo would be arrested soon.
