Addressing a press conference, Monday, Ghaziabad SSP Dharmendra Yadav gave a blow-by-blow account of how the main accused Devender – with help of 4 others - plotted the plan to abduct Dipti.
The 'story' starts sometime around Jan-Feb 2015 when Devender accidentally saw Dipti Sarna at the Rajiv Chowk Metro Station in the heart of the national capital. Dipti was an M-Tech student at that time and used to frequently commute with friends on the metro.
As the Senior Superintendent of Police put it put, Devender, like in the Shah Rukh movie 'Darr', developed an intense infatuation for the pretty girl. He felt he had no life with her.
A history-sheeter, Devender had frequent run-ins with law in the past and had even spent time in jail. But his past did not deter him from his mission to woo Dipti.
Soon he started to stalk her and did a recce on her for at least 150 times in the last year. Dipti was by then started to work at Snapdeal.
Devender did such a perfect job of stalking her that he knew everything about her itinerary. But he also found out, disturbingly for him, that she used to meet a person, refereed to as Mr A by the police.
Mr A was Dipti's friend but Devender developed other ideas. Mr A became his No 1 enemy.
Soon , he decided it was time to work out his plan.
Devender bought two autos and started to ply them on the route taken by Dipti from her in home to Vaishali Metro Station.
He involved his other friends Pradeep, Mohit, Fahim and Majid in the plan but without telling them what his real motive was.
Devender told them that he has identified a girl who is into Hawala trading and has crores of unaccounted cash. His friends bought the idea that they help him in abducting her, they can land themselves a bounty of atleast Rs 1.5 crore each. To sweeten the deal, Devender said that the girl will never report the case to the police as it was Hawala money.
Setting the part B of the plan into motion, Devender used to wait near Vaishali Metro Station in the hope of getting Dipti to sit in his auto.
But his plan seldom worked because Dipti used to always prefer autos which had other female passengers.
On February 10, as Dipti reached Vaishali from her office in Gurgaon, the Devender and his gang were lying in wait. While Pradeep was at the driver seat, Devender sat with him in the front row while Fahim was at the rear seat – leaving two seats were vacant in the auto.
Dipti came and once again chose an auto which had another female occupant, which soon proceeded towards Old Bus Stand in Ghaziabad with Devender and gang following it. Their other accomplice Majid trailed them in a Swift car (backup escape vehicle if things went wrong).
At the Shaibabad traffic signal, the gang closed in on the auto and Devender inserted a nail-fitted board beneath the tyre of the auto Dipti was travelling in.
As expected, the auto's tyre got burst and the auto stalled on the Mohan Nagar flyover, 300 metres from the signal. Majid, who was driving the Swift, also missed seeing the nail-laden board and the car's tyre also got punctured.
