In a strange case, Gujarat Police finally was able to resolve a 27 year old kidnapping case.
It seems a 21 year old man, had eloped with a 19 year old girl from Mehsana in 1997.
The father of the girl had filed a police complaint.
27 years later, Gujarat Police finally managed to trace the offender only to realize that the offender had legally married the allegedly abducted woman a long time ago.
The woman was his wife now.
Not only that, both of them had had four daughters and the couple now had two grand children!
While Mehsana Police cracked the case, they were stunned to know that no one in the family of the girl even remembered filing the complaint.
The girls father, the original complainant had passed away in the meanwhile and his son did not know anything about the complaint.
Thankfully for the couple, the man was set free on bail immediately after arrest.
Goes to prove that the wheels of justice, law and order, grind slow but grind exceedingly small. Nothing and no one can escape the long arm of law, provided of course, there is someone in the machinery that is not giving up on old cases!
