GREATER NOIDA: Cops rescued a businessman Ravi alias Naresh who was abducted by two of his employees from Dadri. The main accused, Vicky, wanted to pay off his estranged wife to end the dowry harassment case that was lodged against him.

The police said 24-year-old Vicky, the businessman’s driver, hatched the plan with his brother Amit, who works in Ravi’s shop. A cop said Vicky got married three years ago. Initially everything was well, but after a year, their relations began to sour. Later, the wife lodged a dowry harassment case. “Vicky’s wife reportedly demanded Rs 5 lakh to withdraw the case,” said the police officer. The mobile number used for making the ransom call was put on surveillance to trace the kidnappers. Vicky, Amit and their two uncles, Brijmohan and Chandrabhan were arrested.
