07 Year Old Kidnapping Case Worked Out

On 03-11-2008, a resident of Q-Block, Mangol Puri, Delhi lodged a complaint in PS Mangol Puri, regarding kidnapping of his school going daughter aged 18 years. He alleged involvement of school teachers including the Principal behind it. On this complaint, a case vide FIR No.570/08, u/s 363/34 IPC was registered at PS Mangol Puri, Delhi.

The matter became very sensitive and the family members of girl forcibly entered the school, misbehaved with teachers and broke school articles. In this regard, another case vide FIR No.571/08, u/s 323/186/353/338 IPC was registered at PS Mangol Puri against the family members. When the chargesheet in the case FIR No.571/08 was filed, the complainant approached the court of CMM, North West, Delhi, alleging that while the police has failed to trace his daughter, they are unduly harassing him.

Consequently, this case was being monitored by CMM, North West, Rohini Court Delhi. Later on, the Commissioner of Police, Delhi transferred this case to Crime Branch for further investigation. Sincere efforts were made by IOs to trace the victim but all in vain.

In the month of August, a special drive was launched in Crime Branch to work out the cold/old cases and court monitored case. The matter was taken up by the Anti Human Trafficking Unit on top priority and finally after relentless efforts succeeded in working out the case. A team of Anti Human Trafficking Unit led by DCP Rajiv Sharma, comprising of ACP Jitender Singh, Inspector Joginder Singh, HCs Jaivir Singh, Gajender, Jaibhagwan, Tarachand, Krishan and Ct. Parveen was constituted under the supervision of Addl.CP Alok Kumar to work out the said case. The team made all out efforts to trace the victim. The informers/resources deployed for developing the information about the kidnapped girl.

On 03.09.15, Inspr. Joginder Singh received information through his sources that the kidnapped girl is residing at L-Block, Mangol Puri, Delhi with her husband. The information was further developed. After sincere efforts made by the team, the girl was recovered from L-Block, Mangol Puri, where she was found living with her husband, who is a battery rickshaw driver.

The victim stated that, she had come in contact with the boy in 2008. Both became close friends and later, she fell in love with him.

When she informed her parents about her affair, she was beaten mercilessly by her parents and they were objected to her marriage with the boy. On 3.11.08, she voluntarily left her house and solemnized marriage with the boy in Bulandshahar, UP. She has two children aged 5 years and 3 ½ years from the wedlock. When her elder son was born in 2010, she had informed her parents and also disclosed her present address to them. The present address of the victim happens to be within a distance of 5-7 km. But this fact was never disclosed by the complainant to the investigating agency.

The complainant always misguided the police and kept investigating officer in dark despite the fact that he was well aware that her daughter is living with her husband in Mangol Puri itself. He always built pressure on police for failure to trace out his daughter despite knowing her whereabouts. He kept alleging that his daughter was kidnapped by the school Staff, who were also unnecessarily harassed by him.
