In 2016, a shocking case of child kidnapping and ransom demand took place in Hyderabad. A six-year-old boy named Aarav was abducted while returning home from school. His parents, who were well-known doctors in the city, received a ransom call demanding ₹50 lakhs for his release. The kidnappers warned them not to contact the police, but the terrified parents immediately sought help from the authorities.The police began their investigation by analyzing CCTV footage from the area where Aarav was last seen. The footage showed a masked man luring him with chocolates before forcefully taking him away in a white van. The police traced the vehicle’s registration number and found that it was reported stolen a week before the incident. This suggested that the crime was pre-planned.As the police intensified their search, the kidnappers called again and demanded the ransom to be delivered at a secluded location on the city’s outskirts. The police advised Aarav’s parents to cooperate while they planned a rescue operation. Officers in plain clothes followed the father as he went to deliver the money.At the handover point, two masked men arrived on a motorcycle. As soon as they took the bag of cash, the police moved in to arrest them. One of the kidnappers was caught, but the other managed to escape. During interrogation, the arrested man revealed that Aarav was being held in a small house in a remote village.A police team raided the location and found the boy locked in a room. He was unharmed but frightened. The police arrested two more kidnappers at the house and recovered most of the ransom money. The investigation later revealed that the mastermind was Aarav’s family driver, who had been recently fired. He had planned the kidnapping to seek revenge and make quick money.The case went to trial in 2018. The prosecution presented strong evidence, including CCTV footage, call recordings, and the confessions of the arrested criminals. The court sentenced the main accused to life imprisonment, while the other two received ten-year sentences.In 2020, another significant case of cyber fraud came to light in Bengaluru. A group of hackers was caught running an online scam that had cheated hundreds of people out of crores of rupees. The gang operated by sending fake emails and messages, pretending to be from banks and government agencies. They would trick people into revealing their banking details, which they then used to withdraw money from their accounts.The police cybercrime unit launched an investigation after receiving multiple complaints. By tracking the digital footprints of the scammers, the police traced their location to a rented house in the city. A raid was conducted, leading to the arrest of five individuals and the seizure of dozens of mobile phones, laptops, and fake SIM cards.During the trial, the accused admitted that they had been running the scam for over two years, targeting elderly individuals and those unfamiliar with online banking. The court sentenced them to seven years in prison, and their assets were confiscated to compensate the victims. This case highlighted the growing threat of cybercrime and the need for stricter laws to protect online users. In 2016, a shocking case of child kidnapping and ransom demand took place in Hyderabad.
