Belthangady: Kidnapping attempt claim by college student found to be false, says police
Belthangady: Police investigation into an alleged kidnapping attempt involving a college student in Belthangady has revealed that the incident did not take place and was fabricated by the student, officials said.
The case came to light on Monday after a 16-year-old college student reported that three masked men in a car had tried to kidnap her while she was riding a scooter in Sudemugeru area of Belthangady at around 8:30 am on February 9. She had told the police that the men attacked her with a knife, injured her hand and fled after she shouted.
Following the complaint, the injured student was admitted to the Belthangady Government Hospital for treatment.
Police launched an intensive search operation based on the details provided by the student, including a lookout for an Omni car allegedly used by the accused. However, no such vehicle was traced during the day-long search.
It has been revealed during the police investigation that she pretended to be kidnapped by stabbing herself in the hand with a blade because she did not want to go to college.
Police said the matter is still under review and further details will be known after completing the investigation.

SC refuses to entertain plea seeking guidelines for display of Ashoka Chakra
New Delhi (PTI): The Supreme Court on Thursday refused to entertain a plea seeking a direction to the Centre and others to frame guidelines for the display of the Ashoka Chakra on the national flag.
A bench of Chief Justice of India (CJI) Surya Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and Vipul M Pancholi told the petitioner, who appeared in person, to do something constructive for society.
"There is no need to be so emotional about these things. Your idea is good. You have informed the authorities. Now it is for the authorities to see what they want to do," the CJI told the petitioner.
"You do some constructive work for society," the bench said.
The petitioner showed a picture of the Ashoka Chakra installed at a roundabout in Varanasi, but the bench refused to entertain the plea.
