Lucknow, May 8 : The Uttar Pradesh Police has claimed to have rescued a 16-year-old boy from neighbouring Barabanki District, after killing two of the abductors in cross-firing.
The boy was rescued after a team of UP Police Special Task Force (STF) raided a house in a forest, a police official said.
Some weapons were also recovered from the possession of the kidnappers.
Mohit is unharmed and will be handed over to his parents, the official added.
He was abducted when he was on his way to his school.
Businessmen allege a nexus between kidnappers, local politicians and the State police.
But police deny the charges and instead blame the rising crime rate on irresponsible citizens who prefer to give ransom to kidnappers to reporting the crime to the police.
