A 17-year-old girl cooked up a story of abduction to evade scolding from her mother for leaving home without permission.
An investigation of the Bund Garden police following the arrest of a man (22) on Thursday on the charge of abducting the girl with the promise of marriage revealed it. A magisterial court on Friday sent the man in police remand till November 2, though.
Deputy commissioner of police, Zone (II), Suraj Patil told TOI, “Our investigation revealed that the girl and the boy were having an affair.”
On Thursday, the girl’s mother from Tadiwala Road lodged an FIR accusing the man of abducting her daughter on October 25 and keeping her confined to his residence at Kedgaon, Chaufula, in Daund taluka. The girl told her mother that her two friends had taken her to Hadapsar and handed her over to the suspect.
But Police probe revealed that the girl had called the boy to her residence and accompanied him on her own. The questioning of her two friends revealed that they had not taken her to Hadapsar. The girl finally admitted that she had misled her mother.
