Adisan Katuwal, eight-year-old son of Birkha Bahadur, of Prakashpur-8, Sunsari, was abducted by his first cousin Anjan Bista of Udayapur. Katuwal was abandoned in Birtamode after Bista´s accomplices heard about the mastermind´s arrest.[break]
Bista had stayed at Birkha Bahadur´s house until his School Leaving Certificate (SLC) exams. On the day of abduction, Bista went to the Dover Academy, where Katuwal is a second-grader, and told the teachers that he had come to take the kid home.
Bista, who had stolen Rs 50,000 from the Katuwals after SLC exams, had been staying separately in Itahari. He hatched the plot to abduct the kid and take him to India with the help of his accomplices.
“The news about the boy´s abduction spread after he didn´t reach his home just 500 meters away even after an hour of being taken from the school,” Principal Khadga KC said.
Adisan told that Bista and two others took him in a Maruti van to Itahari where the latter got off. The two accomplices later abandoned Kedisan in Birtamode after learning about of Bista´s arrest.
“The locals handed over the kid to police,” Chief of Surunga Police Sub-inspector Kabindra Nembang said. “We are searching for the abductors as we believe they are still in Birtamode.”
