Kanpur Dehat police successfully rescued a speech-and-hearing-impaired woman after her abduction and arrested the suspect, identified as Lala (40), son of Baburam from Hariyarpur village, Sikandra police station area.
The incident occurred on Monday afternoon in Thathiya when the woman, accompanied by her mother to the fields, was forcibly taken by Lala, who arrived in a loader. When the mother intervened, Lala pushed her aside and fled with the woman. Villagers attempted to block his path using sticks and bushes, but he drove over them, escaping toward Khairnagar.
SP Binod Kumar and CO Tirwa Kulveer Singh deployed teams to trace the suspect after receiving a distress call. Within 10 hours, police located the loader near Jankhat. During the cordon operation, Lala attempted to flee into a nearby jungle and opened fire on the police team. Officers returned fire, hitting him in the leg and capturing him on the spot.
The woman was safely rescued, and Lala was admitted to the Government Medical College in Tirwa for treatment. CO Kulveer Singh confirmed the successful operation and commended the rapid response of the police team.
