Ahmedabad, April 29: This intriguing tale of friendship which involved the staged abduction of the best pal's girlfriend may not have been explored yet by Bollywood. But it has happened in real life. Not only did a man help his friend elope, but he ran away with the girl and put her up in a hotel to shield the real boyfriend from suspicion! The dramatic bluff - spurred by love and friendship - was busted by Gandhinagar police officials.

According to Mansa police officials, Riddhi Patel (18) a resident of Heerawadi in Bapunagar, was reported missing by her father, Rajesh Patel, on Friday. "Patel got a call from a man who identified himself as Amjad Khan Pathan," said a Mansa police official. "He told Patel that he was holding his daughter captive and wanted Rs 5 lakh to release her. Patel did not believe him as Riddhi had been to her maternal uncle's residence at Ajol village near Mansa. He called her uncle who confirmed that Riddhi had not been back."

Patel then filed a complaint with Gandhinagar police. Usha Rada, deputy superintendent of police, Kalol division, told TOI that the case was taken on a priority basis by investigators. Five teams, including one from Ahmedabad crime branch, were formed for the search.

"The teams worked day and night and secured conclusive proof from technical surveillance that she was with someone," Rada said. "We kept watch on a bus coming from Patan to Ambikanagar and nabbed Ajay Mali, a youth from Bapunagar, who was accompanying Riddhi."

Riddhi was unaware of her own abduction. Investigators said that the plot was hatched by Riddhi's lover Jagdish Yadav, 25, a resident of Heerawadi. Yadav lives across Riddhi's house and the two fell in love. However, Riddhi's father vehemently opposed the union and asked her to keep away from Yadav. Meanwhile, Yadav's wedding was fixed for May.

"Yadav met Riddhi in private and urged her to elope with him. Riddhi refused initially but agreed later to the scheme," said BN Dave, inspector of Mansa police station. "Yadav however feared that if he and Riddhi go missing at the same time, police might get suspicious. So Yadav entrusted his friend Ajay with the responsibility of creating a ruse. Ajay went to Mansa on his bike and picked up Riddhi as agreed and went to Nadiad on Friday afternoon from Ajol."

Yadav called Riddhi's father and demanded Rs 5 lakh as he planned to elope with Riddhi with the money. However, before his plans materialized, the duo was caught by police, and on Saturday afternoon he too was apprehended. Investigators said that while Yadav does not have any stable job, Mali works with a private firm in Ahmedabad.

Lucknow, Jun 7: From Anamika Shukla to Anamika Singh and finally Priya. The primary school teacher who was found to be teaching simultaneously in 25 schools, not only has multiple jobs but also multiple identities.

Anamika was arrested on Saturday from Kasganj district when she went to submit her resignation after she was served a show cause notice by the Basic Shiksha Adhikari (BSA), Anjali Agarwal.

Agarwal informed the police and Anamika was arrested.

According to the Kasganj BSA, Anamika Shukla, originally a resident of Kaimganj in Farukhabad is currently doing her B.Ed from the Raghukul Degree College in Gonda. Her other documents are also from the same college.

During interrogation, Anamika Shukla said that she was actually Anamika Singh but as questioning proceeded, it turned out that she was Priya from Farrukhabad.

She has been booked for cheating and forgery under IPC sections 420 (cheating and dishonestly inducing delivery of property), 467 (forgery of valuable security, will etc.) and 468 (forgery for purpose of cheating).

According to the police, the woman claimed that she had paid Rs five lakh to a Mainpuri-based man to get this job.

She used Anamika Shukla's credentials to get the job while her real name is Priya, daughter of Mahipal, a resident of the Lakhanpur village of the Kayamganj police circle in Farrukhabad district.

Soron station house officer (SHO) Ripudaman Singh said, "During interrogation, the accused initially claimed to be Anamika Singh, daughter of Subhas Singh. However, her documents are in the name of Anamika Shukla, daughter of Subhas Chandra Shukla."

The accused claimed that she paid the hefty amount to Raj, a Mainpuri-based man for the job and was posted in Faridpur Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalaya (KGBV) since August 2018.

The police are now trying to zero in on the man who got her the job.

The police also believe that it could be possible that multiple candidates used credentials and 'eligibility' of Anamika Shukla - the real one still remains elusive.

According to the Uttar Pradesh government, five more Anamika Shuklas have been found working in KGBVs in Ambedkar Nagar, Baghpat, Aligarh, Saharanpur and Prayagraj districts. She has reportedly drawn a combined salary of Rs one crore in the past one year.

Teachers in KGBV, a residential setup for girls from weaker sections of the society, are appointed on contract and are paid approximately Rs 30,000 per month. Each block in a district has one Kasturba Gandhi school.

Basic Education Minister Satish Dwivedi said that the incident was 'shocking' and the police would unravel the entire racket in the case. "No officer, employee who connived with this teacher in providing her job at KGBV and subsequently hiding it, will be spared," he said.
