Indian jeweler’s child kidnapped for ransom in Bangkok

The 9-year-old son of an Indian jeweler living in Bangkok was kidnapped for ransom on Thursday along with a family maid, the Times of India reported.

The boy, Divyanshu Mundara, is son of Madhusudan Mundara from Jaipur who now lives in Bangkok with his family.

Madhusudan’s uncle Ramesh Mundara, a former JMC corporator, told the Times, “Divyanshu had gone to the school and was returning home along with a domestic help around 7pm on Thursday when he was kidnapped. The domestic help is also missing, so we are unable to know the exact details regarding how they were kidnapped. The boy’s father Madhusudan was in Jaipur on Thursday and left for Bangkok immediately.”

The kidnappers reportedly made a ransom call on Friday.

There was no information in the Times of India story as to where the kidnapping occurred.
