HARIPUR: A girls college’s student was allegedly kidnapped here on Wednesday.

He said the family failed to trace the girl despite an intensive search.

The complainant alleged that local resident Sohail Hussain had kidnapped his daughter.

The police registered a criminal case against the suspect on the complaint of the girl’s father and began search for him and the girl.
