Delhi Police have apprehended four suspects, including a serving Army subedar, for allegedly abducting and robbing 72-year-old chartered accountant Man Mohan Gupta from his home in Sainik Farms. The incident occurred on May 2, when Gupta was lured by Kalpana Kumari, who entered his home and was soon followed by her accomplices. They overpowered him and stole ₹5 lakh (approximately $6,000 USD) in cash, jewelry, and personal documents, before forcing him into his car and demanding a ransom of ₹15 lakh (approximately $18,000 USD) for his release. After failing to secure the ransom, they abandoned him near the Delhi-Mumbai highway in Haryana. Gupta managed to inform local police, leading to an FIR filed on May 3. Within 36 hours, police arrested two of the suspects in Mathura and recovered some stolen items. Further investigations are ongoing to explore any connections to previous crimes.
