A Chartered Accountant was abducted at gunpoint in a high-end area of Jaipur after completing his morning walk. The incident occurred when two assailants forced him into his own Mercedes and drove towards Amer. The dramatic situation unfolded on Thursday morning, shortly after the victim, identified as Rajiv Gupta, returned to his vehicle near a local park.

Details of the Abduction

As Gupta approached his car, he was confronted by two men. One of the assailants allegedly brandished what appeared to be a fake pistol, while the other held a knife against his stomach. Under threat, Gupta was compelled to enter the Mercedes. One of the kidnappers took control of the vehicle and accelerated towards Amer, with Gupta still inside.

During the harrowing experience, Gupta attempted to escape by leaping from the moving car. However, his efforts were unsuccessful as the vehicle sped away. The situation escalated when the Mercedes collided with an oncoming motorcycle, resulting in a loss of control.

The collision caused the luxury car to plunge into a roadside drain and overturn, leading to significant damage. The crash appears to have startled the abductors, prompting them to flee the scene, leaving Gupta behind in the wrecked vehicle.

Emergency Response

Following the crash, the panic button installed in the Mercedes was activated, sending an emergency alert to Gupta’s family. Upon receiving the notification, his family promptly contacted the authorities. Police from the Amer station arrived at the scene and secured the overturned vehicle. Upon investigation, law enforcement recovered the alleged fake pistol and knife from inside the car.

The motive behind the abduction remains unclear, and police are actively investigating the circumstances surrounding this alarming incident. Authorities are working diligently to piece together the events leading up to the abduction. They are analysing the evidence collected from the scene, including the recovered weapons.

The police have not yet disclosed any further details regarding the suspects or their potential motives. This incident has raised concerns about safety in the area, prompting local residents to call for increased security measures. As the investigation continues, the community remains on alert, hoping for a swift resolution to this unsettling case.
