According to the police, two minor Sikh girls boarded a car in Mattan, mistaking it for a taxi, around 9.30 a.m. on Wednesday.

Local residents blocked the Srinagar-Jammu highway, protesting against the abductors.

The two girls were found in an unconscious state at Aloochi Bagh in Srinagar at around 2 p.m.

A medical examination ruled out any sexual assault, police said, adding that a case has been registered and a search has been launched to nab the culprits.
