A minor boy has been arrested for allegedly kidnapping a 15-year-old girl, police said on Wednesday. According to the police, the girl, studying 10th standard at Olagadam village in Bhavani taluk of the Erode district, was a close relative of the 17-year old boy who has passed out of school and was from Namakkal district.
Based on a complaint from her parents that she had gone missing over the last couple of days, the police swung into action and caught the two lovers.
