According to the authorities, one of the abducters had a relationship with the girl and may have been responsible for the kidnapping. Four persons are engaged in the incident. She supposedly eloped with him (her lover) in the past when she was a minor, the police said.

The girl and her partner had previously fled together. He (her boyfriend) may have abducted her now that she is an adult, according to Nagendra Chary, Vemulawada’s deputy superintendent of police (DSP), who spoke to news agency ANI.

The girl is seen being dragged toward a car in the CCTV footage by a man who has a towel tied around his face. While another man went to her father to dissuade him from protesting, he shoved her into the back seat. The moment the father who had been seen rescuing her was shoved aside and the girl was placed inside the car, it drove off.

According to the DSP, three teams have been formed to find them and save the girl. They are looking for evidences.

Earlier, a similar incident was reported from Telangana’s Ranga Reddy district, in which a 24-year-old woman was kidnapped from her home in front of her parents.
