A gang of kidnappers hijacked a Dial 100 police vehicle, stripped the cops and went dressed in khaki to kidnap a girl from her home in a remote village in Madhya Pradesh’s Panna district early on Sunday morning.
Panna SP Iqbal Riyaz confirmed to TOI that three cops were tied up and the gang was in possession of a Dial 100 vehicle for about 45 minutes. A search operation is on to nab the culprits, he said.
According to Riyaz, Dial 100 got a call around 11.30pm on Saturday. ASI Subhash Dube, head constable Prakash Mandal and driver Sharafat Khan responded and drove to the outskirts of Bamori village where they found a man lying face down on the ground.
