Nagpur: A tense situation unfolded in Quetta Colony late Sunday night after a young man allegedly attempted to kidnap a girl by forcibly entering her residence along with three accomplices. The incident sparked widespread panic and led to a massive public outcry, with hundreds of residents gathering outside the Lakadganj Police Station demanding strict action.
As per police sources, the accused—who hails from the Gittikhadan area—had previously been acquainted with the girl. However, she had recently distanced herself from him due to his inappropriate behavior.
At around 9 pm on Sunday, the accused reportedly arrived in Quetta Colony in a red car accompanied by three others. While his accomplices waited downstairs, he proceeded to the girl’s apartment. Upon the girl’s brother opening the door, the accused allegedly pushed him aside and barged into the house.
