UDHAMPUR, Oct 31: Police today arrested all the three kidnappers who were involved in luring and molesting a minor girl of Rajasthan by misusing social networking site Facebook.
Giving details, SSP Udhampur, Ashkoor Ahmed Wani said that misusing the services of a social networking site ‘Facebook’, a minor girl of Rajasthan was lured by one Vishal to come Jammu for performing Vaishno Devi Pilgrimage. Later, the girl was motivated by Vishal and his two associates to visit Patnitop rather than Vaishno Devi as there was huge rush of pilgrims on the eve of holy Navratras.
Subsequently, they proceeded towards Patnitop in their silver color Safari. On way, they started molesting/harassing the girl near Kud. The police party of Kud noticed their activities and approached the girl, who narrated whole story of her kidnapping to police. But, as the Police party was busy in ascertaining the detailed facts from the girl, the accused persons managed to fled away from the spot along with their vehicle.
The minor girl was shifted to Police Women Cell Udhampur and subsequently handed over to the parents.
In this connection, a case under Sections 366/354/RPC was registered at Police Station Kud and based on a reliable information regarding the presence of those kidnappers in Jammu, Kud Police swung into action and arrested all the three kidnappers namely Someshwar Singh alias Vicky, son of Harnam Singh of House No. 182, Sector No. 9, Nanak Nagar, Gurnam Singh alias Ansh, son of Surjeet Singh of H.No. 223, Sector No. 9, Nanak Nagar and Vipin Jamwal alias Vishal, son of Retd SI Bharat Bhushan, resident of Bablian, Gangyal.
