In a joint operation of Jammu and Kashmir Police and Nagpur City Police, two Kashmiri youths were apprehended for the alleged kidnapping of a 15-year-old girl. The girl, currently in a government hostel, is a Class 10 student, police said. The accused have been identified as Mohd Muddasir Hussain Mohd Hussain (19) from Kishtwar, and his step-brother Mohd Yasir Hussain Mohd Shaheen (19) from Doda, Jammu and Kashmir. According to police, Muddasir reportedly deceived the girl into a romantic relationship and into a false promise of marriage, approximately two years ago. He convinced her that they would move to Hyderabad post-marriage, where his uncle would secure a job for the girl.

 

On October 22, Muddasir, with the aid of Yasir, allegedly kidnapped the girl. The trio absconded from Kashmir. After reaching Delhi, the three boarded a Nagpur-bound train. Meanwhile, Jammu and Kashmir sounded an alert to all the State police. After checking CCTV footage at Delhi railway station, the information about the trio boarded the South-bound train was relayed to police stations in Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra. The Sitabuldi police received a tip-off that the three are at the Nagpur railway station. The police team immediately took the three in custody. The police officials alerted the relatives, and their Jammu and Kashmir counterparts about the action. The girl has been placed at a government hostel. A team from Jammu and Kashmir police reached Nagpur, on Saturday, to coordinate further investigation.
