New Delhi, April 25: A girl abducted six years ago from Assam on the pretext of vacation by her neighbour was traced in Delhi's Shalimar Bagh, police said on Wednesday.
"The teenaged girl is now 22 and was abducted by her neighbour Deepak in 2012 on the pretext of vacations. He introduced her to Jacob Deep, who runs a placement agency in Tamoor Nagar," said Deputy Commisioner Police (Southeast) Chimnoy Biswal.
In December 2013, she met her father Mangal Munda in Jacob's office in Tamoor Nagar.
Biswal said that both the father-daughter duo wanted to return to their village but Deepak refused and said that he would set the girl free only if she worked in Udai Park for 20 days.
According to the police, the girl managed to run away but her father was held captive by the two accused in Tamoor Nagar.
"The girl had been struggling and working as domestic worker in Patel Nagar and Shalimar Bagh for three years before she was rescued," Biswal said.

Pakistan reports two more polio cases; Total tally now 52
ISLAMABAD: At least two more cases of poliovirus were reported in Pakistan, taking the number of infections to 52 so far this year, a report said on Friday.
“The Regional Reference Laboratory for Polio Eradication at the National Institute of Health has confirmed the detection of two more wild poliovirus type 1 (WPV1) cases in Pakistan," an official statement said.
The fresh infections — a boy and a girl — were reported from the Dera Ismail Khan district of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province.
“Genetic sequencing of the samples collected from the children is underway," the statement read. Dera Ismail Khan, one of the seven polio-endemic districts of southern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, has reported five polio cases so far this year.
Of the 52 cases in the country this year, 24 are from Balochistan, 13 from Sindh, 13 from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and one each from Punjab and Islamabad.
There is no cure for polio. Only multiple doses of the oral polio vaccine and completion of the routine vaccination schedule for all children under the age of five can keep them protected.
