It appears that the complaint came to be registered on 23rd December, 2009 on the report lodged by one Shridhar Kashinath Kulkarni alleging that his daughter namely; Gauri was enticed in the evening from his lawful guardianship by some unknown persons on 22nd December, 2009 forcibly and was kidnapped his daughter and taken away by black colour Indica, but no ransom is demanded. 4.
