The kidnappers have demanded $20,000 as ransom, family members and police said. The families have requested the Centre to get the youths back. Kuldeep Singh, father of kidnapped youth Yuvraj Singh of Mohna village in Haryana, along with villagers approached Kaithal SP Rajesh Kalia on Monday, requesting action for the youths' safe return.
