A class-1 officer, who was kidnapped in broad daylight near Gandhinagar, was later rescued after a movie-like car chase by the police.

According to sources, Palanpur Assistant Industrial Commissioner R K Vasava, resident of Sector 12 in Gandhinagar, was going to Himmatnagar for some work in the afternoon of June 25.

The kidnappers entered Vasava’s car and abducted him near Gandhinagar. The police received information that the kidnappers had taken Vasava to Bijapur-Mansa.

Police chased the kidnappers and tried to stop them. 

The kidnappers’ car also collided with the police car once, according to reports. Later, the police were able to intercept the kidnappers and free Vasava from the kidnappers.

Notably, Vasava is retiring in five days, and there have been reports of an inquiry against him.
