Patna, Jan 1 (IANS) Three days after a businessman was abducted in Bihar’s Banka district, his brother based in California in the US appealed to the abductors to free him as police failed to make any breakthrough.
‘I appeal to the abductors to release my brother,’ Sanjeev Kumar said via e-mail to mediapersons Friday night.
He said he has also approached top police officials and the media via telephone for his brother’s safe recovery.
Sanjeev’s brother Neelesh Kumar Seth, who runs a jewellery business, was kidnapped at gunpoint by unidentified men in Banka Wednesday evening while he was on his way to Deogarh in neighbouring Jharkhand, an official said.
Police suspect that he was abducted for ransom. But the family has not yet received any ransom call, the official added.
