BHOPAL: A 12-year-old schoolgirl was abducted from a Bhopal street on Wednesday evening, drugged, stuffed into a sack and tortured with electric shocks by two men who intended to sell her off so that they could repay some debts.
She was rescued, thanks to a woman who had heard a single shriek from a kidnappers' house and alerted police. When a rescue team found her in the wee hours of Thursday, she was covered in bruises and injuries from the beating and dazed by electric shocks. A police officer said the kidnappers had changed their plan and intended to murder her. She was saved in the nick of time.
