Cops find 3 missing women, say they left on their own, were not abducted

Senior inspector S P Bhosale of Hinjewadi police station said, “We traced them based on various clues and they were brought back on Thursday morning. Their statements have been recorded. They were not kidnapped and had left home on their own.”

Additional Commissioner of Police  Prakash Mutyal said, “The three were fed up of family issues and their work. They wanted to look for jobs outside the state. They were together wherever they went but could not get jobs. Then they split up.”

Based on statements of their husbands, police suspected it to be a case of abduction. The suspicion was strengthened when, during the last call by one of them to her husband, he heard the women saying the driver was not stopping the car.

A senior police officer said, “But soon after the case was registered, primary probe ruled out abduction. It seems they were afraid of coming back as news had appeared on TV and newspapers. They wanted to create an impression that they had been abducted.”
