Snapdeal employee kidnapped

A 23-year-old woman working in the legal department of e-commerce company Snapdeal was allegedly abducted on her way back from work on Wednesday night.

Dipti Sarna used to travel from her office in Gurgaon to Vaishali via metro train and took the office shuttle bus service, according to her colleagues. She used to go in auto-rickshaw for a short distance before getting picked by her family members.

On Wednesday, her father was talking to her over phone while waiting to pick her.

"According to her family members, on Wednesday night, her parents heard her shout at the auto-rickshaw driver for taking a wrong turn. Her parents called the police soon after her phone got switched off," said a police officer. According to the police, the incident likely took place around the Hindon bridge and a massive search has been launched after an FIR (First Information Report) was registered at a police station.

Reacting to the news, Snapdeal co-founder and chief executive, Kunal Bahl, tweeted that they were working closely with the authorities to help find Sarna. "Deeply disturbed by news of our @Snapdeal team member getting abducted yest," Bahl said in a tweet.
