Speaking with dna on Tuesday, Kulsum's mother Nazmi Zuber Khan said, "At the time of incident, children were playing outside the residence at Madanpura. We had recently shifted to this building. An unknown man lured the children with chocolates and took them with him in a taxi. Children were under confinement for two days in a room in Mumbai and were also assaulted by the kidnapper."
She added, the kidnapper then took them to Varanasi where three other accused, including two women joined him. "Thankfully, the girls raised an alarm after which the kidnapper abandoned them at the railway station in Varanasi and fled with Gulfan.
"We are happy that our daughter is safe and is now with her family. We are assisting the police in helping them to trace my son Gulfan," said Tarannum's father, Mohummad Rasool Khan.
