Rajkot: A 25-year-old woman who was allegedly kidnapped by her own brother for marrying against his wishes was rescued by Rajkot city police on Tuesday early morning from Virpur in Rajkot district.
Police arrested Nitin Sarela (27), a resident of Moti Paneli village in Upleta taluka of Rajkot, along with his three accomplices for kidnapping his sister.
Urmila Sarela had married Deepesh Panchasara three months ago and had been living with him in Rajkot. However, Nitin refused to accept their marriage and used to threaten to kidnap his sister.
On Monday evening, at around 8pm, Nitin and his three aides came to Deepesh’s residence on Raiya Road and kidnapped Urmila in a car. Deepesh was at his garage at Greenland Chokdi when his wife was kidnapped. He immediately informed the police.
“We tracked Nitin’s movement and found him to be near Jamnagar and then Lalpur. But they stopped at a farm near Virpur town of Rajkot on Tuesday early morning. We cornered them and rescued Urmila and arrested all four accused involved in the abduction,” police said.
