Death threat loomed over two abducted boys from Fatehpur Sikri in Uttar Pradesh, when the kidnappers sent a parcel containing four fingers to their families.
Gaurav Kumar, 21 and his cousin Rajat Kumar were kidnapped on September 15 when they went out to the market to buy milk.
Their motorbike was found in a field at Jahanpur village, near the Uttar Pradesh-Rajasthan border the next day.
Their families received the ransom call few days later. The abductors demanded the ransom money of one crore.
When the families expressed inability to pay such hefty amount, the abductors agreed to scale down the ransom money and the negotiation over the phone went on for over a month.
