Police yesterday focused their search for kidnapped businessman Rajendra Singh on the East Coast Demerara backlands, but a fourth day ended with no clues about his whereabouts.
The investigators had apparently suspected that the kidnappers might be East Coast Demerara residents, particularly since Singh’s car was found abandoned in an area not far from where they focused their attention yesterday.
It is still unclear whether the ransom has been handed over.
A caller claiming to be one of the kidnappers had instructed relatives of the auto spares dealer to hand over $50M on Saturday, which was the same day that he was abducted. They subsequently changed their demand to $25M.
Singh was allowed to speak to his wife on Sunday and again on Monday, while demanding the video recording from the CCTV cameras that are mounted around the auto dealer’s business place.
Commissioner of Police (acting) Seelall Persaud is cautioning media houses to be responsible in their reporting on the matter.
On Saturday night, Singh, his wife Heema, and two employees were about to close his business to go home when two men asked for ‘Fat Man’, while pretending to be purchasers of auto spares came up.
They then held their victims at gunpoint, before bundling the businessman into the trunk of his Toyota Ist and driving away.
The vehicle was later found abandoned at Goedverwagting, East Coast Demerara.
Police later detained a 26-year-old woman after tracing the cellular phone that is being used by Singh’s kidnappers to her.
