In a concerning development, authorities have detained a 21-year-old individual identified as Roshan Kumar for the alleged kidnapping and sexual assault of a minor. The incident initially unfolded on March 20 when the girl was abducted from Jam village.

Following the abduction, the girl's father promptly lodged a formal complaint, which led to an intensive police investigation under the supervision of Superintendent Omvir Singh. The rescue operation culminated near Gang Kishore village, where law enforcement successfully liberated the 16-year-old from Kumar's custody.

Subsequent investigations revealed that Kumar deceitfully took the teenager to Hyderabad on the guise of matrimony. During her captivity, the girl reportedly endured three months of sexual assault. In light of these revelations, charges have been upgraded to include rape under the stringent provisions of the BNS and POCSO Act.
