Saoner police rescue 2 minor sisters, 3 held

Nagpur: Saoner police have arrested three youths involved in kidnapping two minor sisters from Patansawangi town and sexually exploiting them for over a month.

Saoner police station’s senior police inspector Ashok Koli told TOI that on November 5, Akash Sonariya (18, a resident of Patansawangi) along with his two friends — Sagar Dhurve (22, Betul in MP) and Karan Kashyap (18, Patansawangi) — had lured the two sisters to elope with them on the pretext of marrying them.

After the minor’s mother lodged a complaint, the senior PI formed a team, which visited many places including Jabalpur in MP, but in vain. Recently, the investigators got a tip off that the trio along with the two sisters was staying in Pithampura in Indore district of MP and subsequently a trap was laid.

The team succeeded in arresting the trio and brought the sisters to their hometown. The accused were remanded in police custody for two days, while the minor girls were handed over to their mother. Further probe is on.
