A minor girl who allegedly ran away with a youth from another community here about two weeks ago, has been found, police said today.
The 14-year-old girl, a high school student was reported missing since August 16. Her father had lodged a complaint after this, and the girl along with the youth, in his early 20s, were found on August 26, police said.
According to SP (East) Prabhakar Chaudhary, since the boy and girl belong to different communities, the father of the girl is now alleging that the girl was forced to convert to marry him.
The investigations show that the boy and the girl were allegedly in a "deep relationship", but the girl later changed her stance following pressure from her family, he said.
The youth has been arrested and the matter is being further investigated, police said.
