The girl, a final year student of computer science, left home on January 4, following which, on January 15 her father lodged a case against unknown people for kidnapping her, a police spokesperson said.

Following a complaint by the girl's father, police tracked her phone call details and traced her at the woman's house in Dewri, Agra.
