Three minor girls from Dharashiv’s Omerga staged their own kidnapping on December 28 in a bid to fulfil their dream of meeting global K-Pop supergroup BTS. However, the police were quick to step in, track them down and return them safely to their families.
On Monday, it was reported that the girls, aged 13 and 11, were avid fans of BTS and followed the band on social media. According to Superintendent of Police Sanjay Jadhav, their fascination with the boy band led them to plan a journey to South Korea. “The girls intended to go to Pune first, earn money, and then fund their travel to South Korea to meet BTS,” Jadhav explained.
