The Mangaluru City Police, in association with the police of Bharathpur in Rajasthan and Mathura in Uttar Pradesh, successfully rescued a man from Mangaluru who was abducted in Bharathpur.

Addressing a press meet here on Wednesday, City Police Commissioner Chandra Sekhar M said that the victim Richard Marian Lazrath had gone to Bharathpur to finalise a deal on four generators at the behest of his boss Arun D’Souza.

‘Satisfying operation’
Stating that it was one of the satisfying operation carried out by the Mangaluru police with the help of the police force from Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan, the city police commissioner said, “The Mangaluru police have carried out a successful operation 2,000-km away from the city and have proved capable of carrying out operation in distant places.”

After the police team started raiding various gangs, the gang that had kidnapped Lazrath had shifted him to seven places in and around Bharathpur and Mathura. The police have credible information on the gang that had abducted Lazrath and are confident of arresting them at the earliest, said Chandra Sekhar.

‘Be careful’
He called upon the public to be careful before making any business deal after getting calls from unknown persons. People should verify the credentials of such unknown persons who come with business proposals, he advised.Such incidents are common in Bharathpur, and on border of Mathura. Earlier, the modus operandi of the gang was that the members would call rich influential businessmen on the pretext of selling gold bricks at cheap rates and later abduct them and demand money for their release.

The city police commissioner said that a team of police officers with ASI Vijayraj and Head Constable Mohan are in Rajasthan with Lazrath and another team has left for Rajasthan.

He thanked the support of Bharathpur zone IGP Alok Vasishta, Agra Zone IGP Durgacharan Mishra for their support in cracking the case.
