Kidnapped As A 7-Year-Old, UP Man Returns Home After 30 Years

New Delhi: 

A seven -year-old kidnapped from Ghaziabad, near Delhi, has finally returned home after over 30 years. Raju, now 37 years old, said he was kidnapped while he and his sister were on way home from school. 

The man, whose family live in Sahibabad, had gone missing on 8 September 1993. A report had been filed with the police, but the boy could not be traced and the case remained unsolved.

Raju said his kidnappers had sent him off to Rajasthan, where he had been living all these years. 

After he reached Rajasthan, he was beaten up regularly and made to work. All he received in return was just one roti in the evening. At night, he was tied up so he could not escape. 

But he finally managed to give his captors the slip and boarded a truck for Delhi. He remembered the city, though he had forgotten in which area he lived and the name of his parents.
