Dr Mehta was kidnapped six days back. Dr Mehta has been released after 48-hour operation by Ahmedabad city police crime branch and Anti Terrorist Squad joined by local police. Both accused arrested have criminal track record. One of them was driver of Dr Mehta. Family however is not ready to accept that kidnap was done for ransom.
