IPS Dr. S. Rajkumar Pandian donated the entire 10 lakh rupees reward money to the CM relief fund. A team led by IPS Dr. S.Pandian Rajkumar caught the most-wanted gang. 

On March 22, 2021, around 2200hrs., some unknown persons came in two unidentified cars (Toyota Fortuner and Honda City) and abducted one Jitubhai Manilal Patel, a local builder residing in Umargaon of Valsad district. Despite the district police’s effort to trace the victim and accused, no actionable information could be obtained during the next two days. After that, from the late-night hours of March 24, 2021, onwards, the victim’s sim card, an unknown person started calling the victim’s wife and consistently demanded a ransom of Rs. Thirty crores for Jitubhai’s release. Except for the mobile calls, the criminals left no other traceable clue to hide their location. They were changing the calling location every time after clandestinely traveling for hundreds of kilometers.

Moreover, taking advantage of Covid-19 epidemics related to the regulation of wearing masks in public, the accused were wearing the masks, making it all the more difficult to trace them. However, IPS Dr. S.Pandian Rajkumar’s meticulous planning of the entire crime detection process, in-depth analysis of all available technical information, physical and technical surveillance, deployment of plainclothes police at strategic places, excellent coordination, and teamwork. As a result, the active members of the notorious Chandan Sonar and Pappu Chaudhary gang involved in this abduction for ransom were apprehended on March 29, 2021, from Borivali Railway Station of Mumbai. They swiftly launched the rescue operation, which resulted in the safe rescue of the victim from Ratnagiri of Maharashtra. It is relevant to mention here that this particular gang had successfully committed similar crimes and collected crores of ransom money from victims’ families in many states, including Bihar, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, West Bengal, and Gujarat. This gang is very professional in its approach to such extent that a) the members use stolen cars brought from a different state, b) victim is usually taken to a different state for illegal detention, confinement, and hostage for months together till a ransom is received, c) ransom calls are made from another state and d) collect the ransom money in one another state, thereby making tracing and detection by police almost impossible. This is the first case in which the police swiftly arrested the gang members and rescued the victim without paying a single penny by the victim’s family to the abductors. For this outstanding work of detection, prompt arrest of this interstate criminal gang, and safe rescue of the victim within a week, on April 1, 2021, in the Legislative Assembly, the Chief Minister of Gujarat announced a monetary reward of Rs. Ten Lakhs to the entire team of police officials led by IPS Dr. S.Pandian Rajkumar, who was part of this operation.

Out of ten lakh rupees granted for 40 members of the Gujarat police team deployed by IPS Dr. S Pandian Rajkumar for this case, one lakh and five thousand were rewarded. IPS Dr. S.Pandian Rajkumar donated the entire amount to the CM relief fund recently.
