"We are hopeful of recovering the young boy. We don't know the reason but full support is with the family and we are doing the needful," Chaddha said.
“His car was recovered on the outskirts of Itanagar. Apparently the family members received a phone call from the abductors although we are yet to get details of the phone conversation,” a police official investigating the case said.
Police have begun a hunt to rescue Getam although no clues were found as to who the abductors were.
