The 27-year-old was abducted while he was returning home. The kidnappers have demanded Rs 10 lakh as ransom.

Dutt lives in Moti Bagh and the police was clueless about from where the personal assistant of Noida CEO Moninder Singh was kidnapped.

Dutt's family received the first call at 7.30 pm from the abductors. They asked for the pin code for his ATM card. The family refused to part with it and called up the police instead. However, later in the evening the kidnappers called up again and demanded Rs 10 lakh as ransom.

Noida SSP AK Singh said,u00a0 "The three, who were in a silver Indica car, were killed after 12-hr chase. Police has recovered liquor and guns from their possession. They are yet to be identified."

Since it was a high-profile matter concerning the top boss of the Noida authority, the Noida police had deputed its Special Operations Group (SOG) along with three police station incharge and one circle officer to trace the missing.

A case has been registered in Kasna police station at Greater Noida. Singh is also the chief of Greater Noida authority.

Dutt has been working as the personal assistant of Singh for the last one and a half year.

Dutt's brother Shambhu did not return phone calls.
