A female resident of the village complained to the police that she, along with her 14-year-old daughter and brother’s wife, had left the house to take their cattle for grazing.

There, Maskeen and Rishum, both natives of Gurdaspur, arrived with an unidentified man in a Toyota Innova (PB-07-AS-2668), and forced her daughter and sister-in-law into the car, before speeding away. The complainant raised the alarm, but the accused managed to flee.

Investigating officer Jatinder Kaur said they had booked the accused for kidnapping, and launched a manhunt to arrest them and rescue the victims.
