A 21-year-old woman in Bengaluru is alleging she is abducted by men hired by her in-laws, prompting a public chase and arrests. Police say the suspects lure the woman by gaining entry to her home and then forcibly take her into a vehicle. When the driver attempts to flee and rams other cars, alert citizens pursue the vehicle, stop it, and help police apprehend three men.

Police report the woman’s in-laws, from Rajasthan, allegedly want her returned to Rajasthan because she married a man from a different caste against family wishes. The woman states her mother-in-law threatened her and demanded she come back. One report adds that the abductors received instructions to “mow down” anyone who tries to intervene during the attempt.

Across the outlets, the central account is consistent: three men are arrested in connection with the abduction attempt, the victim links the plot to her in-laws, and police are investigating the in-laws’ and the abductors’ roles, including whether the parents-in-law also face arrest.
