Seven children kidnapped from different states were rescued in the national capital following the arrest of two men, police said Wednesday.
The men, who had allegedly kidnapped the children from Delhi, Haryana, Jharkhand, Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, were arrested Tuesday evening while trying to escape to Bahadurgarh in Haryana after one of the children Nissar had been traced to them.
Om Singh and his brother Mukesh Kumar, who kidnapped the children, kept them in Haridwar in Uttaranchal, where they had been made to work in fields, construction sites and automobile repair shops, a press statement said.
“Some of the kids had been in their custody for over five years. They were paid nothing and were not even given enough to eat,” said an official.
On Oct 3, police traced Nissar, 13, who had gone missing from north Delhi, to a village in Haridwar.
He had been kidnapped from Seemapuri in west Delhi on his way back home from Madrassa on July 18, 2001.
On his tip off, police reached the house where the children were kept in Haridwar but the two men had already escaped with the other six children.
