Another arrest in minor abduction case

FARIDKOT: Another person was arrested on Monday for involvement in abduction of a minor girl in Faridkot. IG (Bathinda range) Nirmal Singh Dhillon said Toofan Singh aka Toofani was a hardcore criminal and was nabbed at Jagraon in Ludhiana. Nishan Singh, an accused, had kidnapped the girl from her house in Faridkot on September 24; and he was arrested almost a month later, on October 21.
The girl's parents and activists of Gundagardi Virodhi Saanjhi Action Committee protested on Monday in front of Kotwali police station in Faridkot and rued that the police were "adding insult to their injury".
"Cops did not take any action initially, then they revealed the girl's identity and now they claim that she was never kidnapped. This is too much," said the girl's father. "Armed goons forced into our house, attacked us and took away our daughter and the police say this wasn't kidnapping," he said, angrily.
Condemning DGP's statement that the girl "went away" with Nishan, the girl's mother said a CBI inquiry should be ordered since the cops were "shielding the accused". "We want our daughter back safe and sound. CBI must launch a fair investigation," she demanded.
