The Hindu
Passenger kidnapped from Kochi airport earlier this month
Issues related to gold smuggling are suspected to be behind the abduction of a passenger who was taken away from the Kochi airport earlier this month allegedly on mistaken identity. The Ernakulam Rural police probing the incident have prima facie found that to be the case. The police believe that the gang targeted the person based on the wrong information they received. A search is on to trace the person the gang had planned to abduct. Meanwhile, the police have arrested one more person in connection with the incident, taking the total number of people arrested so far to 10.More Related News
