In the police complaint, the girl's father said he had gone to work in a factory that day, leaving his daughter at home alone. “When I returned home in the evening, I did not find my daughter. I launched a search in the neighbourhood but failed to trace her,” he said.
He had filed the complaint at the Dankaur police station on November 10. He told the cops that because of the fear of being slandered in society, he did not approach the police initially. On November 10, he found out through locals that a vegetable hawker, Ravindra, had allegedly abducted his daughter by luring her. “Ravindra had been selling vegetables in our neighbourhood for some years. He had abducted my daughter,” he told police. Based on his complaint, Ravindra was booked for kidnapping and Section 7/9 of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act on November 11. Thereafter, police launched a search and tracked him down to Bulandshahr. Ravindra was arrested from his native place and the girl was recovered.
