‘Movies have direct impact on the mindset our of society’, this statement by Walt Disney has found its relevance in the recent Dipti Sarna kidnapping case. Here is the complete (shocking) tale of this abduction story:

The main accused Devendra saw Dipti at Rajiv Chowk Metro Station sometime around January-February 2015 and fell in love. He stalked her 150 times and was convinced that she would give her consent to marry him. He abducted her last week from outside the Vaishali Metro station in Ghaziabad. He portrayed himself as Dipti’s rescuer and assured her that he would protect her from her other abductors who had bad intentions for her.

According to police, Devendra is a psycho who loves SRK movies, developed an intense one-sided love for Dipti and felt he had no life without her. He has spent some time in jail also where he read Hitler’s Mein Kampf.

After he finally decided to abduct the girl, he constructed part A of the kidnapping plan and that was to involve his friends. He told them that he has spotted a girl who is into hawala trading and they can get INR 1.5 crore each if they work properly. Devendra further said that as she is into hawala trading, she will never involve police. Next, he waited for an unsuspecting Dipti to sit in his auto but this did not work initially as Dipti used to sit in an auto which has more female passengers. On February 10 as well, Dipti reached Vaishali from her Gurgaon office, Devender and his gang were waiting for her. Here, Pradeep was driving the auto, Devender sat with him in the front seat and Fahim was at the back seat, leaving two seats unoccupied. Then Dipti came to the auto stand and once again chose an auto which had another female passenger. Her auto moved towards Old Bus Stand in Ghaziabad, Devender and gang followed it. Their other partner in crime Majid tracked them in a Swift car. You won’t believe they took this car as a rescue vehicle if anything went wrong.

Near the Sahibabad traffic signal, the gang gets their auto close to Dipti’s auto and Devender put in a board fitted with nails under the tyre. As a result, the auto’s tyre burst and it held up on the Mohan Nagar flyover, 300 meters from the signal. Devender and gang approached the passengers of the stranded auto and offered them seat to their destination. Dipti and the other girl consented and got into the back seat.

Just after crossing the Hindon Bridge, they deviated the auto towards Raj nagar extension bypass. After few minutes, other girls were forced to leave auto by them and they overpowered Dipti on gunpoint.

Later, Devendra told police that none of his friends were aware of what he really planned. He took Dipti to Khedakhana, his native village. Here he kept Dipti in his friend’s empty house and started projecting himself as a hero. This story worked as Dipti started having a little trust on him which made him think that she is attracted towards her.

In between all this, Dipti told her name as Sneha and widespread media coverage of Dipti’s abduction made the accused nervous and he decided to send the girl back to her family. The police attention and media coverage ruined his last part of plan in which he dreamt of living happily with Dipti in Nepal.
The psycho abductor, who is now under arrest told police that there are so many cases against him and one more case  means nothing to him and that too of love.
