May 3: A 19-year-old girl was allegedly kidnapped from her Panchal Vihar residence of Karawal Nagar on Sunday night.
The incident occurred when the victim, identified as Priti, was returning to her residence along with her mother. They were coming back from a relative’s house. “When the victim reached near Shani temple in Panchal Vihar, a car halted near the temple and four persons emerged.
