A woman was found alive in the trunk of a car abandoned near the Bichhibojh canal in Ballia, Uttar Pradesh, on Monday evening. The 55-year-old victim had been kidnapped the previous day.
She was rescued after successfully contacting her nephew, Nitish Ram, using her mobile phone. Police were immediately alerted and located the abandoned vehicle. A mechanic was called to open the car's trunk, freeing the distressed woman, who was then taken to a hospital due to her deteriorating health.
The circumstances of the kidnapping baffled authorities. The woman recounted being offered a ride by two bike-borne youths on Sunday, who later made her inhale an unknown substance, causing her to lose consciousness. Upon waking, she found herself locked inside the car's boot.
Further investigation revealed the car was borrowed from its owner by an acquaintance who claimed he needed it for washing. Police are currently conducting raids to apprehend the bus driver and his accomplice, and the motive behind the abduction is under investigation.
