Abducted truck helper from Rabale, rescued from Khedkar’s house in Pune

On Saturday evening, the victim, Prahlad Kumar, a resident of the Turbhe Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC) was accompanying the driver of a mixer truck when the vehicle grazed a nearby car at the Airoli signal along the Mulund-Airoli road. According to the police, the two men in the car confronted the truck driver, Chandkumar Anil Chavav and insisted that Kumar and him accompany them to the nearby police station.

The police said that the duo then forced Kumar into their car and asked Chavan to follow them. Later, Chavan tried to contact Kumar but his calls went unanswered. Suspicious, he searched the area, and when he could not find Kumar, he finally reached out to Vilas Dhondiram Dengre, 53, the owner of the truck who runs a concrete transport business. Dengre then filed a police complaint, and a kidnapping case was registered against the unidentified persons.

Police investigations traced the car’s location to Pune, and when a team from the Navi Mumbai police arrived at the location, they found the vehicle parked inside a residential society.
