HYDERABAD: In a cinematic turn of events, the kidnap mystery of Kaushik, the Class 10 boy who was abducted at Shadnagar in Rangareddy district on Wednesday, came to a happy ending after the boy made a phone call to his father on Thursday. Though the kidnappers had called Kaushik’s father Venkatesh Goud on Wednesday, stating that they will soon make their demands known to him, the boy claimed that they left him at Bahadurpura, around 50 kms away from Shadnagar, on Thursday morning.

He was later handed over to his parents. Kaushik told police that there were four persons in the car who were continuously taking instructions over the phone from another person.
“According to the evidence gathered, the clues given by the boy, they could be residents of Hyderabad,” Surendar said. Kaushik was kidnapped on Wednesday while returning home from tuition along with two friends.
