22-year-old charged with kidnapping

22-year-old man charged with kidnap for eloping with minor

Nearly 5 months after 16-year-old daughter of Lohiyanagar businessman goes missing, police unable to trace her lover as he's switched off his cell
The Khadak police have levelled charges of luring a minor with the promise of marriage and abduction against a 22-year-old married man.

The accused was identified as Amol Kamble of Tadiwala Road in Bund Garden. The police said the accused had run away with the 16-year-old daughter of a businessman.

The police had originally registered missing person complaint in October after the teen's father, a Lohiyanagar-based businessman, approached them when he discovered his daughter had disappeared from the family residence.

"On the basis of information provided by the father, who runs a small-scale business in Lohiyanagar, the Khadak police had filed a missing complaint after the businessman's 16-year-old school dropout daughter disappeared from the family residence in the wee hours of October 18," said Sub-Inspector Anil Jambure. "We then went through the girl's cell phone records."

The police traced a cell phone number from which the girl had received several calls. "On the basis of the call details, we realised that there was a call made to the girl's cell phone on the night of the incident. When we were investigating, we realised that the SIM card was purchased in the name of an hotelier in Kothrud.

It seems the hotelier had given the SIM to one of his employees, who was identified as 22-year-old Amol Kamble, a resident of Tadiwala Road in Bund Garden area," said Jambure. 

The police launched a search for Kamble in his hometown in Solapur district, but he was nowhere to be found.
"We have even came to know that the suspect Kamble had filed for divorce from his first wife and it is still in process. Moreover, he has stopped appearing for the case hearings," said Jambure.

"Kamble has switched off his cell phone, and that is why we are facing a lot of problems tracing him. But we are sure we will arrest him very soon." He police have filed a case of kidnapping under Sections 363 and 366 of the IPC against Kamble.
