Authorities in Rupandehi have taken 27-year-old Yuvraj Tharu into custody regarding the abduction of a 10-year-old girl from Tilottama Municipality. The victim was taken from her residence while sleeping on Wednesday night, prompting an extensive search operation by local police. Officers successfully located and rescued the child in a nearby forest area on Friday evening, roughly 38 hours after she went missing. The suspect managed to evade capture initially but was tracked down on Sunday night in the Kanchhi Bazaar jungle. During the arrest, Tharu allegedly attempted to assault law enforcement officers, leading police to discharge a firearm. The suspect sustained a leg injury during the encounter and was subsequently transported to Lumbini Provincial Hospital for medical care. Official investigations into the circumstances surrounding the kidnapping are currently ongoing.
