Anantapur police on Tuesday rescued a minor girl, who was allegedly kidnapped from Bhoginepalli in Rapthadu mandal, within a couple of hours using technology and police on-ground intelligence and restored the girl to her parents.
The police arrested four of the accused — Kamatham Pullanna, 55, Kamatham Sadanand, 26, Bulle Prasad, 26, and Vennapoosa Bhaskar Reddy, 51. The fifth accused Boya Krishna, 45, is yet to be arrested.
The girl, who completed her Intermediate and was waiting to get admitted to a degree college, was allegedly forcibly taken away by close relatives from her house while she was alone at around 9.30 a.m. The girl’s parents were away in the agriculture fields and neighbours, who watched the entire episode, alerted the girl’s parents, who in turn complained to the Rapthadu police.
