Dramatic Rescue: Businessman's Children Recovered Unhurt After Kidnapping Ordeal

Two children of a businessman in Athani, Belagavi were abducted, prompting a swift police operation. The kids were rescued unharmed, and three suspects were apprehended. The incident emerged from a financial dispute where an accused incurred losses in the businessman's trading platform and resorted to kidnapping.

In a dramatic turn of events in Athani town, Belagavi district, two children of a local businessman were allegedly kidnapped right from their home. On Friday, police revealed that the siblings—a four-year-old girl and a three-year-old boy—had been abducted by two men who entered their residence.

CCTV footage captured the harrowing moment as the alleged kidnappers escaped with the children. Fortunately, both kids have been safely returned to their parents. Law enforcement officials confirmed that the three individuals involved in the crime have been detained.

The kidnapping, which occurred while the children's grandmother was home, was traced back to a financial dispute. An arrested suspect confessed to a failed investment in the businessman's trading platform, which led him to hatch the abduction plan to recover his financial losses.
