13-year-old goes missing, all eyes on a missing neighbour
In May, a 13-year-old was abducted from her neighborhood when she went out to get ice-cream. The father held a few men staying opposite their house responsible for abducting his daughter. The father, a driver, lodged an FIR with the police and the investigations into the abduction began. The father along with the Police visited Etah searching for the girl.
Efforts of a father, help get his daughter back
The man responsible for the girl's return was none other than the minor's father who used his personal car for police investigations. He accompanied police on the raids and paid for all the police expenses to the tune of Rs. 45,000. Not only that, he even spied on the police to see if they were carrying out the investigation.
3 arrested for rape and forcing a minor into marriage
Three persons were arrested for the alleged rape of the 13-year-old girl and forcing her into a marriage. The prime accused, Iddu Khan had surrendered with the girl before a Delhi court following a case filed by the girl's father. 2 others who said to have accompanied Iddu Khan as 'witnesses' for the marriage were also booked under Child Marriage Restraint Act.
Girl's family desperate for her return
The girl's mother requested the child welfare groups to make the girl return. She said: "My daughter is too innocent to realize that if Iddu Khan (the accused) loved her, he wouldn't have established physical relations with her despite knowing her age."
