Kanpur: A group of eunuchs allegedly kidnapped Shubham, a resident of Chandan Nagar, under Naubasta police area of the city. The incident came to light after parents of the victim lodged a complaint with the Naubasta police on Saturday alleging that eunuchs have abducted their son while he had gone to answer nature’s call on January 29 evening, the day his ‘tilak’ ceremony was organised.

Shubham was to get married on February 4. “Shubham informed his younger brother on his mobile phone on January 30 that the eunuchs after abducting him, took him in a four-wheeler to some unknown place and threatened to castrate him. During a brief talk, he asked his brother to help him, and after that his mobile phone went off”, said a police oficer.

The last location of the victim’s phone was traced to Jahanabad area of Ghatampur. A police team was rushed to Jahanabad, but in vain, added the police officer.

The victim’s mother Pushpa Prajapati told the police their son's ‘tilak’ ceremony had taken place on January 29. “Pushpa further said that last year during Holi celebrations Shubham had a dispute with a eunuch called Khushbu, who had threatened to kidnap and castrate him.

Khushbu, who lives in a rented accommodation in the same locality, was also found to be absconding since Shubham had gone missing thus raising suspicion over his alleged involvement into the kidnapping”, said an investigating official further.

Circle Officer Vishal Pandey meanwhile said that separate police teams had launched a search for the missing youth and the matter was being investigated. He said police teams had been sent to all possible hideouts in the neighbouring pockets to nab the culprits.
