Seven year old abduction case solved

Police today claimed to have solved a seven year old abduction case by tracing the woman, who is now married to the man with whom she had eloped, even as it came to light that her whereabouts were deliberately witheld by her parents.
The Anti-Human Trafficking Unit of Crime Branch traced the woman to L Block in Mangolpuri where she lives with her husband and two children, Joint Commissioner of Police (Crime) Ravindra Yadav said.
In 2008, an FIR was registered at Mangolpuri police station after a complaint by the father of the woman, who was aged 18 then, Yadav said.

The father had alleged that her teachers and principal were involved in the abduction and later, her family members allegedly forcibly entered the school, damaged property and misbehaved with the staff following which an FIR was registered against them, he said.
The family then approached a court alleging that though the police had failed to find the woman, they were unduly harassing them, after which the case was being mointored by the chief metropolitan magistrate, he said.
Afterwards the case was transferred to Crime Branch by Commissioner of Police and it was taken up by the Crime Branch again in a special drive in August.

The woman told the police that her family members were against her relationship so she voluntarily left home on November 3, 2008, and married her lover in Bulandshahar in Uttar Pradesh.
She has two children aged 5 and 3 years and her husband is an auto-rickshaw driver. When her elder son was born in 2010, she had reached out to her parents and had also disclosed her present address to them, the officer said.
Yadav claimed the complainant misguided the police and kept the investigating officer in dark despite knowing that his daughter was living with her husband in Mangolpuri itself.
