Alleged kidnapping victim rescued at construction site in Pares

A 23-year-old man from Hatton was rescued on Sunday night following a harrowing ordeal at a construction site in Pares Village. The incident unfolded when the man’s 18-year-old sister received a distressing WhatsApp message on Sunday evening, alerting her that her brother had been kidnapped. The message reportedly included his precise location, which proved crucial in the rescue operation. The young man had left home earlier that day for work, but when his sister returned to their Hatton residence around 10:30 p.m., she discovered he had not returned. Upon checking her phone, she found the alarming message and immediately contacted the police. Authorities swiftly organized a search party and, using the location information provided, tracked the missing man to a house under construction in Pares Village. According to sources, the 23-year-old informed investigators that he had been hired to carry out construction work at the property. However, when he attempted to leave the site around 6:45 p.m., a 36-year-old man allegedly brandished a weapon, held him against his will, and prevented him from leaving. The suspect was subsequently arrested at the scene and is currently assisting police with their investigations.
