In a shocking incident, a 14-year-old girl was abducted by a half a dozen men in on Monday. She was returning from an examination when she was abducted by the men in an SUV. The incident happened around 4.30 pm in front of a police station in Rajasthan’s Deeg village of Bharatpur, India.
The other girls who were in company of the girl protested and were repelled when the criminals fired shots in the air.
They succeeded in fleeing with the girl.
A case of abduction and illegal use of firearms was registered against the men.
According to reports, her father told the police that they married off the girl last year but she returned home after her in-laws harassed her for dowry. He insisted that her in-laws were likely behind the kidnapping.
“Three to four people arrived in a four-wheeler and abducted her at gunpoint. When the locals tried to stop them, they also fired a few rounds on the air. However, no casualty was reported so far,” said the Kaman circle officer Girraj Meena.
The abduction was captured in a CCTV installed in Deeg district’s Pahari area and has prompted sharp attacks from the Congress on the state government over the law and order situation in the state and the Bharatpur region, chief minister Mohan Lal Sharma’s home district. Three police teams have been formed to track down the kidnappers.
