Adobe India CEO Naresh Gupta's son was kidnapped on Monday morning by two unidentified persons riding a black motorcycle from outside his residence in Noida, a satellite township of Delhi.
The incident occurred at about 0815 hrs when three-year-old Anant was waiting for his school bus along with the family's maid servant outside his residence in the affluent Sector 15 locality, said the police.
The pre-nursery student's sister Kavita too studies in the same school -- Lotus Valley School -- situated on the Express Highway.
Anant's mother Nidhi lodged an FIR at Sector 20 police station under section 364 of the Indian Penal Code.
Meanwhile, an Uttar Pradesh Home Department spokesman in Lucknow said six special operation group teams had been formed to trace the boy.
The spokesman said the child's family members were yet to receive any ransom demand from the abductors. Police was also trying to elicit information from the maid servant, who was with Anant, he said, adding that a strict vigil was being maintained along the borders of the industrial city.
Meanwhile, the BJP and Congress have blamed the deteriorating law and order situation in Uttar Pradesh behind the kidnapping.
"Criminals are running a parallel government and the Mulayam Singh Yadav administration is unable to control it," alleged state BJP president Keshri Nath Tripathi.
"When the family members of personnel working in big companies are not safe in UP, how can the Samajwadi Party government claim they are turning the state into Uttam Pradesh," he observed.
Congress spokesperson Akhilesh Pratap Singh said the abduction proves wrong, the tall claims of the state government about the law and order situation in UP.
