The police rescued a 23-year-old woman from the clutches of kidnappers and handed her over to her father in Kurnool district on Sunday.
According to Pathikonda police, a farmer, Varadarajulu of Pathikonda mandal, was taking his daughter on a bike to a hospital in the morning. A youth, Satish Naidu, and a batch of accomplices ambushed the father-daughter duo at an isolated stretch and reportedly kidnapped the woman in a car.
The father rushed to the Pathikona police station and lodged a complaint, alleging that the youth had threatened him with a revolver at point-blank range, and assaulted him physically, before abducting his daughter.
Meanwhile, a special police party that tracked the car intercepted it at a remote village in Aluru mandal and handed over the victim to her father. A case was registered. The vehicle was seized, and a couple of accused were arrested. The prime accused is at large, the police said.
