Kidnapped Indian national Jaspar Singh Malhi was finally
rescued by joint operatives on Friday morning in Calinan, Davao City
The police also arrested kidnapping mastermind, Jerry Singh,
an Indian national; and, four other suspects identified as Noel Onin, Josephine
Onas, car driver Kokong Pagalan, and motorcycle driver Julius Ibol. They were
arrested at different locations in the city. Four more suspects however remain
at-large.
Malhi, 31, and resident of Wellspring Village
Malhi was immediately turned over to Davao City Police
Office (DCPO) Director Sr. Supt. Vicente Danao, who has been leading the
investigation and joint rescue operation. Danao has dispatched DCPO personnel,
the first rapid deployment platoon, and Task Force Davao led by P/Chief
Inspector Randy Sambalod, P/Sr. Inspector Bankalin Baluan.
The team set up a joint checkpoint at Lacson, Calinan upon
receiving information that Malhi will be transported by the suspects to the
city proper at about 4:15 a.m.
Malhi was kidnapped on Tuesday morning at Purok 4, Barangay
Ula in Tugbok District, Davao
City
It was learned that the kidnappers initially demanded P20
million until it was lowered to P3 million; then P20,000. But this was not
confirmed by the police.
In an interview with media, Malhi said he knows Singh
because they are in the same money-lending business. He said he borrowed a huge
amount of money from Singh that he failed to pay.
During his three-day ordeal, Malhi told reporters he was fed
with bread and softdrinks.
Singh and his cohorts were presented to Mayor Rodrigo
Duterte yesterday at Grand Men Seng Hotel. Duterte said the suspects will be
detained and charges will be filed immediately, including the woman.
