15-yr-old stages own kidnapping to get a mobile

In India, a 15 year old student wanted to get a mobile phone from his father, which was pretty expensive and actually out of reach for the poor father. In order to get the phone, nevertheless, the student staged his own kidnapping.

The police caught up with the kidnapper, after they installed a caller-ID facility on his home phone and traced the whereabouts.

At the handover they found out that it was the son! He envied his friends that flashed their handphones in school. Sad story, and shows the problem that people face when group pressure sets in.
