JOIN USThe City police have traced a minor girl, reportedly abducted from her house in Mahadevapura recently, to Bagepalli town in Chikkaballapur district.

On Sunday morning, the vehicle in which Anisha was being ferried developed a snag. This forced Kumar to seek help at a local garage.

The passersby tried to nab Kumar. However, he succeeded in giving a slip, police said.
