A Station House Officer of a Gurgaon police station, who yesterday went missing under mysterious circumstances, was allegedly taken hostage by four persons who later dumped him in Mathura of UP, police said today.
Surender Phogat, SHO Sector 29 Police Station, left for an official meeting in his car yesterday around 12:30 PM but did not reach for the meeting.
Deepak Sahran, DCP, East, Gurgaon, said Phogat was on his way to the DCP East's Office in connection with official work when he noticed four suspicious looking persons standing along the road.
As the four failed to give any satisfactory answer, Phogat made all of them sit in his car to take them to police station but the accused overpowered him and took him hostage, Sahran said.
Thereafter he was held captive for many hours and taken to some place near Kosi in Mathura district of Uttar Pradesh where he was late night dumped after snatching his mobiles and car, he said.
Phogat, who received minor injuries, informed his senior officials about the incident, Sahran said.
A case has been registered against unidentified persons in Sushant Lok police station, the DCP said.
