Patna: 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.
