Snapdeal employee Dipti Sarna, who was kidnapped two days ago, has been traced to Panipat in Haryana.



Dipti called her family today and informed them that she is safe, sources said. She regained consciousness on board a train and called her father in the morning and asked him to come to New Delhi railway station to pick her up, her mother said. Then her family went to New Delhi railway station along with the police to meet her as she arrived.



Dharmendra Singh, SSP, Ghaziabad City said, "Dipti was blindfolded and taken to an unknown location where she was kept confined in a room overnight. She was later dumped near a railway station this morning. There was no physical harm to her. She was even provided with food by the abductors".

"Dipti is fit, fine and back home. We can say with confidence that she hasn't been subjected to any physical harm," said Salmantaj Patil, SP, Ghaziabad city.



However, her bag and mobile phone are still missing.

Ghaziabad Police on Wednesday launched a search operation in the jungles of Morti near Raj Nagar extension, where her last location was traced to. The 25-year-old woman, who works as a company secretary in Snapdeal's legal department in Gurgaon, was kidnapped after taking an autorickshaw from the metro station in Vaishali area in Ghaziabad.

Meanwhile, Snapdeal has tweeted that Deepti has been found safe and sound.



Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav's office had asked the Ghaziabad Senior Superintendent of Police to personally head the search operation. Delhi Police had also alerted all patrol teams.

The incident took place when she got off the Metro at Vaishali and took an auto to the bus-stand in Ghaziabad from where her family members were to pick her up.

She left the Metro station around 8.30 pm and took a 'shared' auto-rickshaw along with three other passengers, including a woman.

After getting into the vehicle, she telephoned her father Narendra Sharma.

After travelling a distance of around 3-4 km, the woman co-passenger was reportedly forced to get down.

Sensing danger, Dipti called her father again and her parents heard her screaming at the driver for having taken a wrong turn while she was speaking to them on the phone in the auto. Soon after that her phone was turned off. Her father contacted the police and filed a complaint.

Ghaziabad residents on Thursday evening blocked traffic on National Highway-24, and also staged a sit-in at the office of the senior superintendent of police.
