Haryana STF nabs two for abducting minor girl
Gurugram, June 27: The Haryana Special Task Force (STF) have arrested two people from West Bengal and Mumbai for allegedly abducting an eight-year-old girl from Haryana for Rs two lakh ransom, police said on Wednesday.
The Gurugram STF arrested Pradeep Burman alias Ravi Burman from Mumbai and Saidur Rehman from West Bengal for abducting the minor girl from Panipat. The girl was rescued and handed over to her family.
Satheesh Balan, Deputy Inspector General, STF, said that Burman was arrested on Wednesday from his house in Mumbai's Bandra, while Rehman was arrested from West Bengal's Malda district (also his native home).
"Burman, the main accused in the abduction, was a business partner of victim's father Abdul Rehman (hailing from Malda) in a litchi farm in Punjab's Pathankot. The partners faced losses in litchi farming and Rehman got himself out of the partnership," the DIG told IANS.
Burman was on Wednesday produced before a court in Mumbai and was being brought to Gurugram on a transit remand, Balan said.

Commercial LPG price hiked by Rs 993 per 19-kg cylinder
New Delhi (PTI): The price of commercial LPG was hiked by the steepest ever Rs 993 per 19-kg cylinder on Friday, marking the third straight monthly increase due to rising global energy prices linked to the West Asia conflict.
A 19-kg commercial LPG - used by establishments such as hotels and restaurtants - now costs a record Rs 3,071.5 in Delhi as against Rs 2,078.50 previously.
Rates were last increased by 195.50 per cylinder on April 1. Prior to that, prices had gone up by Rs 114.5 per 19-kg cylinder on March 1.
In three increases, commercial LPG rates have gone up by Rs 1,303.
Prices of domestic cooking gas LPG - the one used in household kitchens - remained unchanged. Domestic LPG rates were last hiked by Rs 60 per 14.2-kg cylinder on March 7. It costs Rs 913 per 14.2-kg cylinder in Delhi.
State-owned Indian Oil Corporation, Bharat Petroleum, and Hindustan Petroleum revise ATF and LPG prices on the first day of every month based on international benchmarks and the exchange rate.
Global oil prices have shot up almost 50 per cent after the war in West Asia disrupted energy supply chains.
Petrol and diesel prices continue to remain frozen after a Rs 2 per-litre reduction in March last year; petrol currently costs Rs 94.72 per litre in Delhi and diesel Rs 87.62.
