The girl was kidnapped on November 13 and found yesterday by Sikandra police.
According to a report lodged by the relatives of the girl, the abduction was a result of a dispute between the family of the girl and that of the accused.
The report said the man had threatened the girl`s family that he would abduct her following which she was brought from Ban to Agra to stay at her uncle`s house. The accused apparently followed her here and kidnapped her, the family members alleged.
The girl`s relatives claimed that the Sikandra police did not lodge their complaint because of the protection offered to the accused by a legislator.
