An 18-year-old girl was allegedly abducted by four persons in front of her father in Telanagana’s Sircilla district. The incident occurred in Moodepalle village in Chandurthi Mandal of the district at around 5.30 am when the father and her daughter were proceeding to a temple.
The incident has been caught on a CCTV camera installed in the vicinity. It shows how the abductors forcibly took the woman in their car and sped away. According to police, a case was earlier registered against the accused Gyaneshwar as the abducted girl eloped with him and they had an `informal` marriage.
The case takes a twist
Hours after the kidnapping, the case has taken a twist with the ‘victim’ girl releasing a video. She said that she was not kidnapped and that she had gone to get married to her lover Gnaneshwar as per her wish.
However, she claimed the incident wasn’t staged. As the four men had their faces covered, she thought she was being kidnapped, she said.
Police earlier suspected that the abducted girl is grown-up now and therefore the accused tried to snatch her from the father`s guardianship. Nagendra Chary, Deputy Superintendent of Police, Vemulawada, said, “A case has been registered and we are making all efforts to trace the kidnapped victim. There were four people involved in the incident.”
