Chennai: Police on Saturday arrested two engineering students for abducting an 18-yearold woman from a private institution in Tirumangalam on Thursday. The duo set the woman free within hours following which she returned to her home in Mogappair and informed her parents. Based on her complaint, the Tirumangalam police registered a case and nabbed the two men who were remanded in judicial custody after being produced before a magistrate court.

The duo were identified as A Praveen Kumar, 23, a resident of Vadapalani, and S Surendar, 21, a resident of Anna Nagar West. Police seized the Maruti Swift car in which they abducted the woman Ranjani (name changed). The car belongs to Surendar’s parents.

Ranjani, who was studying in a medical college in Georgia, discontinued her course there and returned to Chennai to prepare for the NEET exam. She had joined a coaching institute in Tirumangalam.

Police said Ranjani befriended Praveen Kumar, a third year student of a private engineering college, on social media. However, they fell out with each other and she refused to speak to him. Police said Praveen Kumar made several attempts to contact her but failed. He subsequently decided to abduct her with the help of a friend.

As per the plan, Praveen Kumar and Surendar waited for her in front of the Tirumangalam institute in a car, said a police officer. Surendar was at the wheel. As soon as she stepped out of the institute, Praveen Kumar dragged her into the vehicle and they sped away.

Police said they took her to Surendar’s house where Praveen Kumar proposed to her. She refused following which an enraged Praveen Kumar slapped her. Later, she was allowed to leave.
