Bengaluru teen abducts nephew over sister’s alleged extramarital affair
Davanagere: A 17-year-old boy from Bengaluru, disturbed by his elder sister’s alleged extramarital relationship, reportedly kidnapped her three-year-old son before fleeing to Davanagere. The Railway Protection Force (RPF) intercepted the teen at Davanagere railway station, where he was found with the child.
According to reports from the Times of India, the teenager revealed his identity and explained his motives during police questioning. He stated that he and his sister, along with their family, resided in Bengaluru. Upset by his sister’s relationship and her refusal to end it despite his repeated requests, he decided to take her young son to their family’s native village.
The incident came to light after the boy’s sister informed Bengaluru police that her brother had abducted her child, though she did not formally file a complaint. Bengaluru police subsequently alerted officers in Davanagere, who successfully located the boy and his nephew. The teenager has since been returned to his family in Bengaluru.
