A scary incident occurred recently to a woman software engineer who was kidnapped in the afternoon near Silk Board.
On Monday, April 1, 2019, around 1.45pm, 24-year-old Sushmita Dixit was kidnapped by five people travelling in a car near Vishal Mega Mart on Hosur Road near Central Silk Board.
Employed with Accenture, she had a job interview at Capgemini. Her father dropped her at Silk Board from where she took an Ola cab at 11am. When she reached Capgemini, she was told that the interview was postponed to the next day. She took an auto and got down at Silk Board. That was around 1.45pm.
Suddenly, she felt something hurting her neck. Before she could realise what was happening, some strangers had dragged her into a stationary car. By the time she gathered herself, she was seated in the car’s backseat, and was being told by one stranger that she should procure a few things from Anand Emmanuel, her office colleague at Accenture, namely some documents relating to a few drugs, web camera, and fingerprint scanner. They kept taking her around the city while threatening her with dire consequences if she does not agree to do their bidding. She lost consciousness soon after.
When she woke up at 9.30pm, she was lyding down on the roadside in front of Nandi Grand near Hoskote. Passersby took her in an ambulance to the Silicon City hospital in Hoskote where she was treated. In the car, there were five people, including the driver.
Though the incident occurred on April 1, the police complaint was filed at the HSR Layout police station only on May 17, 2019. The cops have filed several charges against the culprits for criminal intimidation, intentional insult, kidnapping and causing hurt.
