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.

Bengaluru (PTI): A 27-year-old techie allegedly died by suicide by hanging herself in her room at her residence here, reportedly distressed over an astrologer's prediction about her marriage, police said on Monday.
The incident occurred on Friday at MEI Layout in Bagalagunte, they said.
The deceased, identified as Vidyajyoti, was in a relationship with a man from another caste. Both families had agreed to the marriage as per her wishes, police said.
Citing a preliminary inquiry, a senior police officer said her parents had recently consulted an astrologer, who allegedly predicted that there could be misunderstandings between the couple two years into the marriage, possibly leading to separation.
To avert this, the astrologer reportedly advised performing a nine-day ritual, which the family undertook, he said.
However, on the ninth day of the ritual, Vidyajyoti allegedly went to her room and died by suicide by hanging herself from a ceiling fan when her parents were not home, he added.
The incident came to light in the evening when she did not respond despite repeated knocks on the door. Her father later broke open the door and found her hanging, police said.
Bagalagunte police have registered a UDR (Unnatural Death Report) case, and further investigation is underway.
