AURANGABAD: The railway police on Saturday afternoon handed over two minor girls, who had run away from their homes in Jalna in the morning, to their relatives."The two girls, who were around 13 years of age and belonged to Jalna, about 60 km from here, ran away from home and were heading to Mumbai," said Rameshwar Gade, assistant police inspector, railway police station, Aurangabad."The girls said they fled because their parents forced them to study and asked them to do household chores," Gade said.Gade said the girls decided to run away on Saturday morning and caught a train to Mumbai, but soon realized that they had no means to survive and did not know what they would do in Mumbai. "The girls also started feeling hungry which made them get down from the train at Aurangabad station," he said. The duo then approached some policemen and alleged that they were kidnapped and had somehow managed to escape. However, the police found the story suspicious. "One of the girls had a school bag, further raising suspicion," Gade said.After sustained questioning, the girls admitted that they had escaped from home. "The girls feared that they would have to face the wrath of their parents and hence, came up with a fake story," Gade said. |
