Moradabad police rescued a 22-year-old woman after she alleged on social media that her family was holding her captive.

BIJNOR: Moradabad police rescued a woman, daughter of a former councillor, after she posted on social media platform ‘X’ that her family was holding her captive, and tagged the chief minister, director general of police (DGP) and additional director general of police (ADG).
The 22-year-old woman is from Agwanpur in the Civil Lines area of Moradabad. After being freed from alleged ‘captivity,’ the woman filed a formal complaint against her three brothers, accusing them of confining her in their house.

In her police complaint, she stated that she was a graduate and was in a relationship with a 24-year-old man from a village in the Pakbara area and wanted to marry him.
However, when her family learned about her plans, she was allegedly confined in the house.
Civil Lines station house officer (SHO) Manish Saxena said, “We received information through a social media post about the 22-year-old woman being held captive. Upon speaking with her, the woman denied being held hostage but said she was threatened by her brothers. She also confirmed that she was an adult.”
