Pune: Chandannagar police on Wednesday detained three men from Rajegaon in Beed district and rescued a 30-year-old sugarcane farm worker.Two of the three men allegedly abducted the farm worker around 8am on June 30. When the worker did not return home late that night, his wife (25) contacted all her relatives to enquire about her husband. No one knew where her husband was. Further inquiry revealed that two men abducted him and took him to Rajegaon in Beed district.Senior inspector Seema Dhakane of Chandannagar police told TOI, “The victim is a sugarcane farm worker. He took an advance payment of Rs2 lakh last year from a labour contractor, who provides farm workers in Solapur and other districts.”“Last year, before Diwali, the victim worked at a farm for 15 days and left without informing anyone. He did not return the money,” Dhakane said. “The labour contractor and others were searching for the worker to recover their money. They came to Pune and halted at Chandannagar. Coincidently, the victim just came in front of them and they took him into a car to Beed to recover money,” she said.“Our team studied the CCTV footage of the spot and identified the registration number of the vehicle. It led us to Rajegaon,” she said.
