Sagara: A minor boy was tied to a pole by locals on Sunday after they mistook him for a “child thief” when he arrived in Jannat Nagar wearing a burqa to meet his girlfriend.
According to police, the boy, a resident of Tyagarthi in the taluk, had come to the area in disguise on Sunday afternoon. His appearance made some local children suspicious, and they informed elders in the locality.
As there were rumours about child-lifting in the area, some residents thought the boy had come with bad intentions. They caught him, tied him to a pole, and informed the police.
The Sagar Town police came to the spot after receiving information, rescued the boy, and took him into custody. After questioning, police found that he had worn the burqa to avoid being recognised while meeting his girlfriend and was not involved in any crime.
