Maharashtra teen cooks up own kidnapping story, runs away with boyfriend to Kolkata

In a recent development, a 17-year-old girl hailing from the Palghar district in Maharashtra allegedly ran away with her boyfriend to Kolkata, staging a fabricated story of her own kidnapping. The senior inspector of the Virar police station, Kalyan Karpe, disclosed that the young girl, who resides in the Virar area and is employed in the housekeeping department of a company, left for work on Friday but failed to return home, reported PTI. Concerned about her whereabouts, the girl’s family initiated a search operation.

The police pursued various leads and eventually discovered that the girl had boarded a flight to Kolkata, West Bengal, accompanied by her boyfriend. In their relentless pursuit, a police team has been dispatched to Kolkata in order to locate and bring back the young couple.
