Mumbai, Mar 5 (UNI) A 19-year-old college student, who was allegedly kidnapped by her fiancee and two of his associates this afternoon from MNK college, Bandra, was rescued within two hours by the city police.

The culprits were arrested at the Dahisar Check Naka in the western suburb, police said.

The girl's brother had come to pick her up at the examination centre at MNK college.

Two of the accused reside in the same building as the girl, according to the police.

Police Commissioner Hasan Gafoor has appreciated the alertness shown by the Dahisar police team in handling the case.

''We will give a reward to the whole team, who have nabbed the culprits,'' he said.
