Newskarnataka-Puttur
Puttur: The Naushida kidnap episode at Keyyur near here recently, is taking interesting twists with the passing of each day. If initially everyone believed it to be a kidnap case, later it came to light that Naushida was herself the mastermind of this kidnap drama which never took place.
It has even been learnt that she resorted to such an act merely to teach a lesson to her husband and in-laws who were reportedly harassing her for dowry.
In a latest development, Puttur MLA Shakuntala Shetty has directed the police department to initiate action against Naushida for misleading the public and the police.
Speaking to the media men here on September 30, Monday, Shetty said such an act on the part of Naushida has made the society view women with suspicion. A situation may even arise when the society may not be willing to believe a woman who complains of rape even if she was actually a victim, the MLA said.
There is a strong suspicion that some forces might have played a role behind this kidnap claim, the MLA said.
