Police foil kidnapping bid, accused under custody


GANGTOK, 26 Dec: A kidnapping has been reported from Jorethang where a 5-year-old girl was kidnapped by a woman from her home. Quick action by the Jorethang police ensured that the child was located and returned to her guardians. The accused has been placed under arrest.
As per reports the accused has been identified as 27-year-old Aarti Subba of Daramdin. On the night of 21 December, she is reported to have approached the house of Phurba Tshering Tamang of Chisopani, Jorethang, seeking shelter for the night.
Phurba Tamang, who was not familiar with the woman, agreed and let her stay in his house for the night, police records suggest. The following morning on the pretext of buying toothpaste she went out and took the 5-year-old daughter of the house along with her. However, she did not return thereafter.
