Two teams of district police on Wednesday managed to rescue a factory director from the clutches of miscreants after an encounter near Dahkaura village under Bahadurgarh sub-division here.

The police also arrested three miscreants who suffered bullet injuries in the cross-firing in Aasodha-Dehkaura area.

The miscreants identified as Sumit, Vishal and Sandeep of Bahrana village here have been admitted to Civil Hospital in Bahadurgarh.

Ashok Kumar, Jhajjar SP, informed the miscreants had kidnapped Vishal Jain, director, Super Circle Private Limited, when he was returning to Delhi from his factory in Aasaudha village this noon.

The miscreants pressurised him to call his wife and sought Rs 50 lakh on pretext that he had met with an accident, he added.

“Suspecting something fishy, Vishal’s wife contacted the factory partner—Manoj Kumar—who later approached the Bahadurgarh police. Acting swiftly on the complaint, we traced the location of Vishal’s mobile in Aasodha area. Two teams were constituted, which launched a hunt for the miscreants,” said the SP.

He maintained the team managed to locate the miscreants who were arrested after the cross-firing. The director was rescued safely. Three country-made pistols had been recovered from the possession of miscreants, he added.
