Beed, March 12 A 14-year-old girl has gone missing in the Beed district of Maharashtra, prompting the police to register a kidnapping case and launch an investigation, an official said on Thursday.
The incident was reported from the Kaij tehsil, he said.
The father of the teenager, an 8th-grade student, found his daughter missing around midnight on Wednesday when he returned home after tending to the crops. When the girl's family was unable to locate her, they approached the police.
A kidnapping case has been registered in connection with this, and an investigation is underway, the official said.
Meanwhile, a 19-year-old woman from the same tehsil, who had been missing since February 28, has been located.
Police said the woman, who had recently taken her Std XII examinations, was found to have married a resident of Bhavthana. "It was an inter-caste marriage. Since both are adults, we recorded their statements and allowed them to leave," another official said.
