Abducted woman and daughter rescued

Morena, MP, Sep 12 (UNI) Nine months after she was sold for Rs 30,000, a Bhopal-based woman and her daughter were found in a hospital in this district, police said today.

Jyoti (25), who was travelling along with her six-month-old daughter and brother, was drugged by Gopal and Jagannath Kushwah, who held the woman captive at Jaura for two days before selling her to Pasauta village-resident Ram Singh.

The accused locked the woman inside a room for nine months and kept a close watch on her.

Some days back, Jyoti's daughter fell ill and the accused admitted her to district hospital. Jyoti narrated her tale of woe to neighbouring patient's family members, who informed police.

Police were on the lookout of the accused.
