Shillong, May 15: After failing her yearly undergraduate examination, a teenage girl fled from Indore to the nearby town of Ujjain in Madhya Pradesh and faked her kidnapping.
According to the police, the girl (17), who was enrolled in a college’s first year of a Bachelor of Arts (BA) programme, was returned to her family on Saturday after being taken from Ujjain, which is located around 50 km from Indore.
Hours after the exam results were released, the girl’s father filed a complaint on Friday night, according to Inspector Rajendra Soni of Indore’s Banganga police station. “The girl was allegedly abducted from near a temple in Indore while she was on her way home from the college,” Soni said.
According to the girl’s father, his daughter called him from an unknown number and told him that she had been abducted in Indore.
Before boarding an e-rickshaw, the girl said that a faculty member had dropped her off in a square close to the shrine.
She also told her father that the rickshaw driver had taken her to a remote location and had covered her lips with a towel to render her unconscious.
