Top Uttar Pradesh surgeon rescued after 30-hour operation

The ravines of Chambal, for long the fabled home to outlaws, had been dormant for years. With the disappearance of a doctor from Agra, the badlands came alive again on Wednesday. For nearly 30 hours, 50 cops from Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh gave chase to the Badan Singh Chauhan gang, crossed the gharial-infested Chambal river, clambered through deep ravines and scoured dozens of villages before they found the doctor — he had been “honey-trapped” and held captive for a Rs 5 crore ransom.
