A day after three men abducted a 19-year-old girl from outside a college here and were arrested within five hours, they were sent to jail under judicial custody on Tuesday, police said.
Vicky, Jaibir and Mangal were sent to jail for 14 days by a district court. The three, in their early '20s, are accused of kidnapping the girl from outside D.S.D. College here on Railway Road Monday morning.
Vicky, a resident of Gurgaon Colony, was doing graduation through distance learning and was known to the kidnapped girl. The other two accused are school dropouts.
A senior police officer told IANS that Vicky wanted to celebrate his birthday (December 28) with the girl along with his friends but the young woman objected to the plan.
Vicky and one of his friends then dragged the girl into a white coloured Maruti Swift car.
A few people ran after the car to help the struggling girl but could not succeed.
