A 22-year-old girl hailing from Bhimavaram, who went missing from Vijayawada six months ago, was traced along with her boyfriend to Jammu and Kashmir. The girl was safe, said the NTR Commissionerate police.
The mother of the girl met Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan in Vijayawada three days ago and alleged that her daughter was kidnapped by a youth hailing from Ramavarappadu.
In response to her petition, Mr. Pawan Kalyan asked NTR Police Commissioner P.H.D. Ramakrishna to speed up the investigation of the case. The Central Zone Police formed special teams which visited Bengaluru, Hyderabad and other places. Finally, it traced the girl to Jammu.
“The boy and the girl, who are pursuing a hotel management programme in a private college in Vijayawada, were missing since October last year. They travelled to Hyderabad, Visakhapatnam, Kerala, Sholapur, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Ajmer before reaching Jammu. They had been living in Jammu since then,” the Police Commissioner told The Hindu.
The Cybercrime and the Machavaram police traced the girl and the boy to Jammu and took them into custody. “The boy was working as a chef in a hotel and they changed their SIM cards and phones too,” Mr. Ramakrishna said.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Adhiraj Singh Rana asked the A.P. police team to bring the girl and her boyfriend to Vijayawada.
“We traced the girl to Jammu and Kashmir on June 1 (Monday) night. The police are checking the background of the youth who took the girl away from Vijayawada,” a police officer told The Hindu on June 2 (Tuesday).
The Deputy Chief Minister appreciated the Vijayawada police.
