There was relief across the city as a six-year-old boy, kidnapped five days ago from his house in view of his helpless mother and grandmother, returned home safely on Thursday.

Senior police officials said a crack police team secured Divya's release from village Digner around 3 a.m. and arrested four members of the kidnapping gang.

Hundreds of groups, associations, chambers of commerce, and religious bodies in the Taj city had been agitating and praying for his release.

Divya was cycling in his house premises in the evening of March 13 when two persons on a mobike kidnapped him even as his mother and grandmother watched.

Massive hunt was undertaken by eight police teams and hundreds of suspects questioned but too no avail - until Thursday.
