A ten-year-old boy, suspected to have been kidnapped for ransom here, returned home today, police said.
The boy, son of a businessman, is going through medical check-up at the government general hospital, Senior Superintendent of Police Bhairon Singh Gurjar told reporters.
He said police had some "strong clues" relating to the offence and were working on it to trace the accused.
Family members of the boy said he was spotted on a road in a dazed condition and brought home.
The boy studying in a private school did not return home after attending tuition last evening and police registered a case of kidnap on a complaint by his father.
The boy's parents had reportedly received phone calls last night from an unidentified person demanding a ransom of Rs 50 lakh for the release of the boy.
Even as police formed a special team to trace him, an employee of a private cable TV operator found him standing on the middle of a road in Kamaraj Nagar near his house.
Another police official said it was suspected that a two-member gang was involved in the crime and very soon they would be arrested. One of the relatives of the boy said he had some bruises on the face.
