The Pune Police, working in collaboration with the Latur Police, managed to locate and rescue the victim, bringing an end to a long and harrowing ordeal for her family.
The girl, identified as Priya (name changed to protect her identity), was abducted from her home in Latur on March 15, 2023.
Her family reported the incident to the local police, who immediately launched a search operation.
Despite their efforts, the girl remained missing for several months, causing immense distress to her family and the community.
The breakthrough came when the Pune Police received a tip-off from a local resident about a young girl who was being held captive in a house in the Kharadi area.
The police quickly swung into action, conducting a raid on the premises.
They found Priya in a distressed but relatively safe condition and immediately provided her with medical assistance.
The kidnapper, a 28-year-old man named Rajesh (name changed to protect his identity), was arrested on the spot.
Initial investigations revealed that Rajesh had lured Priya under false pretenses, promising her a job in a city-based company.
Once she arrived in Pune, he forcibly kept her in his house, restricting her movements and communication.
Speaking to the media, the Chief of the Pune Police, Inspector General (IG) Mr.
Arvind Kumar, said, 'This rescue operation is a testament to the diligence and perseverance of our team.
We will not rest until every missing person is found and all perpetrators are brought to justice.'
The Latur Police, who had been working tirelessly on the case, also expressed their gratitude to the Pune Police for their swift and effective response.
'We are relieved that Priya is safe and back with her family.
We will continue to support her and ensure that the perpetrators face the full extent of the law,' stated the Latur Police Commissioner, Mr.
Sanjeev Varma.
The victim's family, who had been living in constant fear and uncertainty, welcomed the news with mixed emotions of relief and anger.
Priya's mother, who was present in Pune to take her daughter home, said, 'We thank the police and all those who helped in finding our daughter.
It has been a terrible six months, and we are just glad to have her back.'
The incident has once again highlighted the need for increased vigilance and awareness regarding the safety of young people, especially in vulnerable areas.
Local NGOs and community organizations have stepped up to provide counseling and support to the family, ensuring that they have the resources to cope with the trauma of the ordeal.
The Pune Police are currently investigating the motives behind the kidnapping and are exploring connections to other similar cases.
They have urged the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities to the nearest police station.
If you have any information or suspect someone in similar circumstances, please contact the Pune Police at 100 or the Latur Police at 100.
Your assistance can make a difference in saving lives and bringing justice to the victims and their families.
