Snapdeal employee Dipti's abduction: 4 goons, 48 hours, a 10-km walk and freedom

Dipti Sarna with her family


For 25-year-old Dipti Sarna, a Snapdeal employee, the last 48 hours were full of fear. Dipti went missing on February 10 near Ghaziabad and was located on Friday morning at Panipat.
Soon after she was traced to Delhi's neighbouring city, she told the Ghaziabad Police that she had been kidnapped by four men with whom she had shared an auto on her way to the Ghaziabad bus stand from the Vaishali metro station.
Ghaziabad's SSP Dharmendra Singh told the media that the men appeared to be "illiterate and local goons" who got scared by the fact that the police had launched a massive manhunt for the girl. Fearing strict action by the police, the men let her go.
Though no physical harm was inflicted on Dipti, the police are giving her time to rest before they question her in order to prepare a sketch of the four men who had abducted her.
So far, Dipti has told the police that the four goons were scared of being caught by the police so they didn't take the risk of hiding anywhere for the night.
They travelled with Dipti the entire night. Dipti recounted how she was made to walk nearly 10km, travel aboard an i10 car, and even a bike.
However, by morning, the men had enough of the running around and they put her on a train to Delhi at a suburban railway station. They even gave her some money.
At Narela station, Dipti finally got her bearings and called her father using a fellow passenger's phone.
The Snapdeal employee told the police of how her abduction had taken place and revealed that the auto she was travelling in broke down halfway at Mohan Nagar which forced the rest of the occupants to board another auto to the Ghaziabad bus stand. Minutes after that, the only other woman aboard the auto was forced off the auto by the four men near Hindon river.
Dipti was talking to her friend at that time. The men snatched her bag and phone, but not before her friend heard her scream. The men then drove the auto to a secluded spot near Raj Nagar extension, where they changed vehicles and then drove around before finally letting her go.
