An 11-year-old boy, whose father runs a coaching centre, was allegedly kidnapped by two persons in South Delhi's Lajpat Nagar area.
Police said that the boy, identified as Vansh Puri, however managed to escape from the clutches of the accused after biting the hand of one of his abductors.
His father, Ajay Puri, has alleged that Vansh was abducted on Tuesday morning around 9.30 AM after he left from home to buy a chocolate.
Police said that Ajay claimed that his son was abducted on the pretext of asking an address, adding that he alleged that the abductors had driven his son for a few kilometres.
As they stopped and one of the abductors stepped out, the boy bit the second person's hand and fled, Ajay has said in the statement, according to a police official.
The boy, however, cannot identify the men as his eyes were covered, police said, adding that prima facie, it seems to be a case of dispute over something, but we have registered a case on the basis of their statement.
