Yadav was "abducted" from Bishwakarma Chowk, Janakpur at around two in the afternoon by two motorbike-borne men while he was about to return to Jaleshwar. Yadav is a permanent resident of Maisotha-8, Siraha.[break]
A police team deployed at Biswakarma Chowk rescued Yadav after he cried for help and took the abductors under control. Abductors Jeetndra Jha, 30, of Devpura Rupaitha-2 and his younger brother Indresh are in police custody. Police also took the duo´s inebriated father Shambhu into costody after he attacked Yadav inside the police office.
Jeetendra, who had worked as office assistant at the survey office when Rakesh Jha was office chief, had been repeatedly threatening Yadav claiming that the office still owed him his wages despite his term was terminated and accounts cleared after Jha´s transfer. "He had been demanding that he be given an additional one-month salary though we have already paid him," Yadav told Republica. "He had threatened to kill me by taking me to a secret place on a motorcycle," a visibly worried Yadav claimed.
Police, however, contended that the incident did not look like a kidnapping case. "This does not look like an abduction case. Yadav and Jeetendra had disputes over the latter´s salary. We took them under control when they started exchanging blows at Bishwakarma Chowk," Chief of Dhanusha Police SP Purushottam Kandel said.
