f the police want they can actually be quick in solving cases, this was seen in the latest incident. A minor girl who was kidnapped from the City was traced to Pune within 24 hours by the police. Inspector of Chaderghat L Rajavenkat Reddy said the girl was about to be handed over to a brothel when the police zeroed in on the gang.
The victim, aged about 16, belongs to Amravathi of Maharashtra who has studied up to Class X and is now undergoing training for para medical service. She had come to the City to meet her elder sister residing in Shankar Nagar in Malakpet last week. According to the details, one youth, Sampath, 22, a resident of Shanker Nagar kidnapped the girl in a car with the help of others on November 22 while she was returning from a medical shop.
It is not clear if she was drugged so that she would be silent. However, someone who happens to see it noted down the vehicle number and told the police. Meanwhile, the girl’s sister, Arushi, notified the police that her sister was missing. Police took the help of the witness who revealed who the kidnapper was and where they had proceeded to. It came to be known later that Sampath had earlier kidnapped a newly-wed couple for ransom.
POLITICS Will develop RTC, vows TDP chief
T
DP chief Chandrababu Naidu has assured that he would develop APSRTC on par with the private sector transport. APSRTC workers of Narayanakhed have met Naidu who was on 'Vastunna Meekosam' Pada Yatra. Addressing them, he has dismissed the charge of his opponents that he would privatise the public sector transport organisation, if he came to power. He said on the other hand he would bring a special policy for the development of the organisation and the welfare of the employees. He said Narayanakhed depot also would be developed like the Kuppam depot. He said, because of fluoride contamination, water in the depot was unfit for drinking. They said there was no sleeping facility for workers halting for the night and the repair shed was in a dilapidated condition. Naidu said he would take their problems to the notice of authorities and resolve them. After interacting, Naidu wrote a letter to the APSRTC regional manager. In the letter, has asked the RM to take steps to provide safe drinking water to the employees and provide resting facilities for the crew coming on long distance trips. NSS

e is barely 20, young and debonair. He would pass for a showbiz child or student from a rich family. But Mohd Akber of Shaikpet Nalla is just a school dropout and is a marble polisher. But he is not the
one to get tied with so lowly a livelihood. Hence he chose a new vocation: lifting expensive bikes and selling them in black. And in such an early stage in life, he has already been incarcerated several times but no jail can dissuade him from his side-business. The latest to pick him up was the Golconda police who caught him and recovered half a dozen bikes of expensive brands. They were taken off from various parts of the City. Akbar explained to the police that he has a master key that helps unlock most bikes. Inspector Golconda, Syed Nayeemuddin Javed said, Mohd had demonstrated how he steals the bikes parked. He is fond of lavish lifestyle.
