However, showing remarkable courage, both girls managed to escape from the clutches of the abductors and saved themselves.
How the Abduction Happened
According to local sources, the two girls had gone near their home for defecation late in the night. Taking advantage of the situation, the kidnappers picked them up and forced them into a “Chhota Hathi” (mini truck). Reports suggest that while the girls were seated inside one vehicle, the abductors were following in another.
The Brave Escape
During the journey, when the mini truck slowed down on the way, the two minors seized the opportunity and jumped out of the moving vehicle. They ran for safety and managed to reach Gotamba village under Goilkera police station area.
Terrified but determined to protect themselves, they sought refuge at the house of a local Sahiya (rural health worker), who sheltered them for the entire night.
Villagers’ Intervention
In the morning, the incident came to the knowledge of villagers. The local Mukhiya (village head) immediately reached Gotamba and ensured the girls were safely taken to the Sonua police station.
Police Investigation Underway
The police have registered the case and begun an investigation. Teams are trying to trace the vehicles used in the abduction and identify the culprits involved. Officials stated that strict action will be taken against those responsible once they are caught.
Fear and Concern in the Region
The incident has caused fear and tension among locals, as abduction cases in the region raise serious concerns about safety, especially for women and children. Villagers have urged the administration to increase night patrols and security measures in rural areas to prevent such incidents.
Conclusion
Thanks to their quick thinking and bravery, the two minor girls managed to escape what could have been a tragic crime.
