The abduction was executed on Monday evening when the victim, 12, a resident of Kardampuri in West Jyoti Nagar, was returning home after tuition.
The father filed a police complaint on Tuesday after getting the ransom call from the abductors, the police officer said.

“The two were arrested from their hideout with the help of surveillance following which the victim was safely released,” Joint Commissioner of Police Ravinder Yadav said.
“During the investigation, it was found that both Tarif and Danish approached the victim while he was on his way home. They asked him the address and way to his uncle’s house and later abducted him,” Yadav said.
