Hyderabad: The Hyderabad police have traced the woman, who was feared to have been kidnapped by a group of persons from a hospital at Attapur on Tuesday night, triggering police action.
“The woman is safe. She was found at her residence in Chaderghat. The lady was not abducted or kidnapped; there were some issues between the woman and her friends, and it all happened because of that,” said Rajendranagar DCP, S Sreenivas.
On Tuesday night, the police were alerted by the hospital management about a woman being forcefully bundled into a car and taken away. The police teams then swiftly started searching for the car. The DCP Rajendranagar, S Sreenivas, also reached the place and supervised the operation to trace the car and rescue the women.
