Days after the alleged abduction of Snapdeal employee Dipti Sarna and her subsequent return home after 36 hours, the Uttar Pradesh police has arrested five persons in connection with the case. One of the accused is reportedly close to the family.

The 24-year old reportedly went missing on 10 February after she boarded a sharing autorickshaw from the Vaishali metro station. Dipti told the police that her autorickshaw broke down near Mohan Nagar, after which she boarded another shared autorickshaw which was ferrying another woman and four men.

Dipti told the police that she raised an alarm when the driver started to take another route. The other woman passenger managed to get out of the vehicle but the men stopped Dipti from jumping out. She said that she was beaten by her abductors, following which she was blindfolded and was taken to an unidentified location.

Dipti's abduction made national news after Snapdeal tweeted her picture and kickstarted a social media campaign #HelpFindDipti after her disappearance.
