According to the police, the two alleged abductors of the child, Digvijay alias Vijay (23) and Sachin alias Monu (20) were arrested on Monday evening after a confrontation with the cops and a chase on the banks of river Ganga in Haridwar.
Police not only successfully rescued the boy Ishu, but also recovered ten mobile phones, jewellery which was looted in the incident and the weapon of offence which included sharped-edged weapon (surgical knives), injection syringe and chloroform.
Mohi was strangulated and her on was abducted by the two persons in East Delhi's Mayur Vihar Phase III area on August 24. They had also robbed jewelry and other stuff from the house before fleeing.
