The woman’s father Satyapal Singh on Friday filed a complaint about his daughter being kidnapped at the Bisrakh police station. The woman who hails from Bijnor had shifted to Greater Noida West with her parents, two brothers and two sisters last year. The suspect, Qayamuddin, a resident of Gopal Ganj, worked as a plumber in a Greater Noida society.

“On December 3, Pinki had an off day and she suddenly went missing from home. We launched a search but failed to trace her. We approached police who found that the last person she called before going missing was Qayamuddin, who is also missing since then. We suspect he had kidnapped my daughter to marry her,” said Pinki’s mother Babli. She said the two families had objected to their relationship as they are from different religions.

Harish Chander, deputy commissioner of police, Noida Central, said based on the father’s complaint, a case has been registered against Qayamuddin under Section 366 (kidnapping, abducting or inducing woman to compel her marriage, etc.) of the IPC. “We have registered a case and launched a search to arrest the suspect. It is premature to comment if they had eloped to get married. Due action will be taken as per the law,” he said.
