Belagavi: The City Police swiftly apprehended a 40-year-old man, identified as Gajanana Patil, within 12 hours of receiving a complaint from a couple regarding an attempted kidnapping of their daughter.

The incident occurred on Tuesday evening when the girl, a 9th grade student, was on her way to attend tuition classes. Patil allegedly approached her, lifted her in an attempt to abduct her, but quickly abandoned the act when the girl screamed in protest. He then fled the scene.

The entire incident was captured on a nearby CCTV camera, which prompted the girl's concerned parents to file a complaint with the Tilakwadi Police officials. The authorities wasted no time in launching an investigation and successfully apprehended the suspect, who resides in Maruthi Nagar in Belagavi.

The arrested man, Gajanana Patil, is currently being questioned by the police in relation to the incident. Further details and developments in the case are awaited as the investigation progresses.
