According to authorities, Jhuton Malakar of Aralia area had developed a love relationship with the two girls, who hailed from Malaynagar, an adjacent locality near the capital city. Exploiting this relationship, Jhuton Malakar allegedly abducted the minors last Thursday.

The Srinagar police swiftly launched an intensive investigation, leading to the arrest of several suspicious individuals. These suspects were brought in for questioning at the police station. During this time, the Srinagar police also coordinated with the Kailashahar police station, requesting assistance in apprehending the accused from that area.
Acting promptly, the Kailasahar police located the two minor girls at Sanjay Shukla Baidya’s residence in the Dolugaon area. Alongside them, Jhuton Malakar was also taken into custody. On Sunday morning, a team led by Srinagar police station OC Dilip Debbarma successfully rescued the accused and the two girls, bringing them back to the Srinagar police station.
OC Dilip Debbarma addressed reporters on Sunday evening, emphasizing the ongoing vigorous interrogation of Jhuton Malakar. The accused will face legal proceedings and is scheduled to appear before the West District Sessions and Judge Court on Monday.
Meanwhile, the two minor girls have been reunited with their families. Authorities plan to conduct a physical examination of the Nagalika girls on Monday. In the wake of this disturbing incident, residents of the city are demanding exemplary punishment for Jhuton Malakar.
