The Pattamundai police detained a 62-year-old man for his alleged involvement in kidnapping a Class-V girl on Saturday night while the victim was going to attend a religious function in her locality in the Pattamundai area.
The accused was identified as Natabar Kamila. Police sources said Kamila dragged the girl to a dark lane with some ulterior motive. But after the girl screamed for help, he fled from the spot. Later, the girl’s father lodged a complaint at the Pattamundia police station. Though the police conducted a raid on Kamila house, they failed to find him.
