A 16-year-old girl from Uttar Pradesh managed to give her two kidnappers the slip at Dadar station and seek help from the Railway Police Force (RPF) personnel.
The RPF personnel contacted Pooja Singh’s parents in Varanasi and on their request gave her custody to her uncle who lives in Mumbai. “We are happy to see our niece safe. She has returned to her Varanasi home,” said Dilip Singh.
After vacationing at her sister’s place at Singhrouli in Uttar Pradesh, Pooja was to return to home on November 25. At Renikot station, two burkha-clad women befriended her.
The three boarded the Triveni Express and got talking. Pooja fell unconscious after eating food the duo had offered. When she regained consciousness, she found herself at Sultanpur station in UP. The women reportedly told her that they lived nearby and she could freshen up there and then board the train to Varanasi. But, they took her to a hotel and locked her in a room.
On November 26, she overheard one of the women speak over the phone: “Boss, the girl is in our possession. If you want, we will come to Mumbai and bring her to you.” On November 29, the women forced Pooja to board the Mumbai Mahanagari Express. The next morning, when the train was approaching Kasara, Pooja walked up to a family and narrated her story. The two women panicked and got off at Thane.
The family advised Pooja to get off at Dadar station and inform the RPF personnel. “We called her parents, who requested us to hand over Pooja’s custody to her uncle in Mumbai,” said a senior RPF officer.
The officials are on the lookout for the kidnappers.
