Bureau,Odishabarta
Bhubaneswar: The Commissionerate Police on Thursday arrested Patitapaban Prusty, a delivery boy, who had allegedly eloped with his girlfriend by faking his own kidnapping. On the other hand, the girl, who was found with him in Madhya Pradesh, said she had eloped and was not abducted by him. Dhauli police brought the duo to Bhubaneswar from Madhya Pradesh and recorded their statements.
Police had earlier traced Patitapaban in Madhya Pradesh with the girl while they were travelling in a train. During investigation, Dhauli police examined CCTV footage which showed Patitapaban walking on road, contradicting the allegation of his family members that he was kidnapped at Lingipur near Daya river on the outskirts of Bhubaneswar on September 11 night.
Police had seized his footwear, bag, wallet, T-shirt and a knife from the spot. Moreover, Patitapaban’s wife had received a voice message from him, in which he was heard saying that he was being abducted by four drunkards in an auto-rickshaw. Police tracked his mobile phone and managed to trace him with the help of the Government Railway Police (GRP).
The parents of the girl of Balanga area in Puri district had lodged a complaint with Gop police alleging that Patitapaban kidnapped their daughter, a college student.
Patitapaban had married Ahalya Parida of Maliatutha village under Ramachandi police limits in Puri district eight months ago.
