NARASAPURAM: The kidnap of a young boy, which caused panic here in West Godavari district of Andhra Pradesh, ended on a happy note, with the police rescuing him within hours on Thursday.
According to information, Agastya, the young boy, a grandson of Gudivada Sai, was reportedly abducted by unknown assailants in a silver-coloured car while he was returning home from school. The kidnappers later demanded a ransom of Rs one crore from the boy's family in exchange for his release.
