Summary
- Two sisters fled their Bijnor home seeking refuge from abuse.
- They were found safe in Delhi after their father reported them missing.
- The sisters stated they left voluntarily to escape alleged mistreatment.
Two teenage sisters from Bijnor, aged 16 and 17, were located in Delhi on Wednesday. They had reportedly left their residence to escape alleged ongoing physical assault and verbal abuse from their parents. Their father had filed a missing person report at the Kiratpur police station, leading to an FIR for kidnapping.
A police team was formed to trace the sisters. Upon questioning in Delhi, the girls asserted that they had departed for the city on their own accord. They explicitly denied being abducted or enticed by anyone, reiterating their desire to escape mistreatment at home.
Authorities stated that the sisters would be presented before a court. This procedure is to formally record their statements under relevant sections of the law. Further legal actions are currently in progress as the investigation into the circumstances surrounding their departure continues.
