But the driver of the car in which the girl was kidnapped, moved towards the city through Kinnimulki flyover and as there was traffic congestion in the service road, he parked the car near a building, got into a service bus and fled, according to auto drivers who followed the car.
On information, DySP Jaishankar, Malpe police inspector Madhu and others rushed to the spot and verified the situation. Later, key makers were summoned and opened the doors of the car. The police recovered the ladies bag from the car and they also found slippers of both man and woman and a headphone. Now, the police seized the car also.
“This seems to be a criminal act and triggers suspicion. On prima facie, this is may be kidnap. But the police have to investigate the case to find the truth”, said social worker Krishnamurthy Kinnimulki.
