Yarn dealer kidnapped

Panipat
A yarn dealer, Mr Shiv Kumar, was kidnapped by two unidentified persons from his Model Town residence here on Tuesday night. According to sources, two persons came to the house of the dealer in a Maruti car and asked him to accompany them to Kurukshetra to sort out a financial dispute with a merchant there. Even as Mr Shiv Kumar and his wife got into the car, the duo, instead of taking the car to the GT Road, drove the vehicle to the Assandh road towards Matlauda town. When the couple resisted, the dealer’s wife was thrashed and thrown out midway. The duo later drove to Matlauda taking the dealer with them. A case has been registered. TNS
