An eight-year-old girl from Virar managed to escape from the clutches of a woman when she tried to kidnap her while she was on her way back home from school on Monday. Meanwhile, in another kidnapping attempt in Nalasopara, neighbours caught hold of the accused man when he tried to abduct a seven-year-old girl while she was playing on the staircase of the building where she resides.
According to the police, in the first case, the woman accosted the girl near Kolhapur dhaba in Virar East and tried to lure her with a chocolate. When the girl refused it, the woman forcibly picked her up in her arms and pressed her mouth with her palm so that she couldn't scream. She even threatened to kill her. While trying to escape her clutches, the girl bit into her palm, which forced the woman to loosen her grip. Taking this opportunity, the girl escaped from the spot. On reaching home, she narrated the incident to a neighbour, as her mother was out for some work.
