According to reports, the kidnapping victim Arpita was allegedly abducted by a relative and she and her family members rejected his marriage proposal.
The dramatic visuals show one person loitering on the street while Arpita was walking. An SUV was seen slowly approaching the woman, after which a second man ran down the street and grabbed the woman with the help of the first man. A third man came from the vehicle and further helped the two in forcing Arpita into the car.
Arpita was abducted while she was on her way to school at around 8 am today, when the three kidnappers forced her into a Toyota Innova. The teacher's family members alleged that their relative Ramu was responsible for the kidnapping.
