policeman, wife arrested on kidnapping charges

Kolhapur, Oct 4 (UNI) A policeman and his wife were arrested from their house in Karad taluka of the district for allegedly kidnapping a youth.

Police today said the couple were arrested last night following a complaint registered by one Vaijanti Sarjerao Shinde, belonging to Shindewadi village of Panchala tehsil, that her son Kiran (22), who went missing since September 24, must have been kidnapped by police inspector Sampat Patil, over suspicion of Kiran's illicit relationship with his wife.
