The kidnapped schoolboy was rescued by the police and reunited with his parents. Son of a gift shop owner from Basavanagudi area in Bengaluru, Chirag has reportedly told police that decided to make some quick money to spend on cricket betting and gambling after learning kidnap tricks from the ‘Crime Patrol’. According to police, Chirag reached a private school around 3pm on Tuesday on a Bounce rental bike and zeroed in on a fourth standard student who was walking out of school. He told the boy he was his father's friend and that he required help to search for a relative who had gone missing. The boy believed Chirag and rode pillion on the bike. Chirag then engaged the boy in conversation and learnt about his father's business and got his mobile phone number. He then made a call to the boy's father, demanded Rs 5 lakh and warned him against approaching cops. However, the boy's father alerted Cottonpet police and special teams were formed to crack the case. While Cottonpet inspector Venkatesh TC's squad verified CCTV footage in and around the school, Chamarajpet inspector BG Kumaraswamy's team started tracking the suspect's mobile phone movements. An hour later, the suspect's location was traced to a hotel on the Lavelle Road-St Mark's Road stretch. Police rushed there, rescued the boy and arrested Chirag.

Wow.. Feku created 2 crore jobs (jobless job) and deposited black money in account (his account and ambani;s account)

I am scared IT dept may search my home because feku given job, more money and now gold also..
We dont have any hope of getting 25k and 3grams of gold. All candidates are criminals... No need of those things..better to save girl children from them
Everything copy of Cong plans. Indira canteen they copied and named Annapoorna canteen
How these shameless people can act contradictory at the same time. Feku telling they are giving first preference to women safety and empowerment at the same time manifesto released with some shit cow protection commission
If you elect BJP candidates.. will serve free go mutra for drinking and bathing daily as per BJPs prestigious move "Go mutra ayog"
Feku uttered that women first for them. But even in the manifesto, they made some plan for cows. Go seva ayog. for women - go to hell ayog
Better to read LKG students complaint notebook. They will promise something and in reality, they will do opposite to that
No need of manifesto.We know what they will promise.
