A private school in Haryana's Faridabad foiled a kidnapping attempt, officials said on 12 December 2022.
On 6 December, two unidentified persons went to SRS International School in Sector 88, and tried to allegedly kidnap two students, a brother-sister duo. They claimed that the students' mother had sent them to collect the children.
However, the school management refused and contacted the father, who asked officials to alert the police. The accused managed to flee while the school called the police.

According to the complaint filed by the mother, her nine-year-old son and seven-year-old daughter take a private van to commute to school.
"On December 6, my husband had gone to Lucknow for business. He got a call from the school informing him that two youths had come to take our children home. My husband called me to check but I was surprised. He then asked the school to call the police," she said in the complaint.
"We are afraid as we don't know who they were and why they were trying to abduct our children,” the woman said.
"Both the accused are visible in the CCTV footage and we are trying to trace their vehicle. The accused will be nabbed soon," Arjun Dhundhara, SHO of BPTP police station said.
