Dramatic 20-Kilometer Chase Leads to Rescue of Schoolgirl in Madhya Pradesh.
In a shocking daylight kidnapping that unfolded like a scene from a thriller, a 12th-grade student was abducted in broad daylight in Dhar district, Madhya Pradesh.
The incident, which was captured on CCTV, has left the community in disbelief and raised serious concerns about public safety.
The Kidnapping Incident
On Monday, the young girl was standing near an ATM at the Gandhwani bus stand when a Mahindra Bolero vehicle suddenly screeched to a halt beside her.
Three men jumped out, gagged her, and forcibly dragged her into the vehicle before speeding off. The entire incident was recorded by a nearby CCTV camera, showing the girl being abducted in a matter of seconds.
The Pursuit and Rescue
Upon witnessing the abduction, local villagers immediately sprang into action. They mobilized on motorcycles and in cars, giving chase to the kidnappers’ vehicle.
The pursuit lasted nearly 20 kilometers, with the kidnappers’ vehicle weaving dangerously through narrow village roads and fields.
The chase ended when the Bolero collided with a herd of goats near a village, causing the vehicle to break down. The kidnappers abandoned the vehicle and fled on foot, leaving the terrified girl behind.
Police Intervention
The villagers promptly alerted the police, who arrived at the scene and rescued the girl. She was safely returned to her family.
Superintendent of Police Mayank Awasthi confirmed that a case had been registered against the three identified culprits. Multiple police teams are conducting raids to apprehend the accused. Community Response
The incident has sparked outrage among the local community, with many praising the villagers for their swift and courageous actions.
However, it has also raised serious questions about the safety of women and children in public spaces during daylight hours. Residents are calling for increased security measures and stricter law enforcement to prevent such incidents in the future.
Broader Implications
This kidnapping is part of a troubling trend of abductions in Madhya Pradesh. Earlier this week, a woman in Mandsaur was abducted at gunpoint while practicing garba in a public area, allegedly due to her family’s disapproval of her relationship.
The swift response by the police in both cases highlights the importance of community vigilance and prompt law enforcement action in addressing such crimes.
As investigations continue, authorities are urging the public to remain alert and report any suspicious activities to ensure the safety and security of all citizens.
