Senior police inspector Sudhir Mahadik of Malad police station said Tamilarsi Chettiyar, 40, a resident of Ranchod Patel chawl in Malad (West), had been rescued. The accused – Tilgavati Kondar, 39, Sharda Kondar, 40, Vijaylaxmi Kondar, 21, and Bhuma Kondar 35 – are residents of Suraj Prasad chawl.

On March 7, the Malad police received a complaint from the Kondar family about their daughter eloping with Chettiyar’s son. Chettiyar who was present for the probe left her home and stayed at a friend’s place in Orlem in Malad (West) as she was scared. However, two of the women kidnapped Chettiyar in a rickshaw on Thursday morning. “I went with them as they said they are taking me to the police station,” Chettiyar told the police.
