Sandeep Kumar (19), a student of Class 12 and a resident of Krishna Colony, had left his residence on March 29 for a cricket academy and had gone missing since then, the police said.
“During investigation, it was found that he gave Rs. 500 to a ragpicker to make a ransom call to his brother Naveen Kumar. He stayed in Bhiwadi for a couple of days, after leaving his motorcycle near a temple in Sector 5 to show his kidnapping as genuine”, Gurgaon police PRO Subhash Bokan said.
“He later returned to Gurgaon, where a traffic cop spotted him and handed him to the local police as his family members had already lodged an FIR,” the police official added.
