Bhubaneswar: A 9-year-old boy was rescued five hours after being abducted from near his house under Bargarh Town Police Station on Sunday.
Reportedly, the son of Jamil Akhtar Khan, Chief Manager-CSR at ACC Cement in Bargarh, was playing near his house at around 6.30 PM yesterday when he was abducted by some miscreants.
The kidnappers had left a note in English near Khan’s house demanding a ransom of Rs 10 lakh to release the child.

He was subsequently handed over to his family members. While the child was in a state of shock, police have assured to nab the culprits.
