The seventeen-year-old girl's family had filed a complaint on January 31 stating that the girl was missing and that they suspected that she had been kidnapped by a Nepal national Mustakin Nadaf, 21. The Anjuna police traced Nadaf's location through his mobile phone signal and went to Dharavi on Thursday where they arrested him and managed to locate the girl as well. 

Two Goa policemen -- Babu Madanwar and Gavas -- reached Dharavi locality on February 1 and with the help of the Dharavi police searched over 400 hutments and arrested the accused and rescued the girl. 

On interrogation Nadaf said he hails from Nepal. "He was in love with the girl for the last two years and recently convinced the minor girl to elope with him and get married at New Delhi," a police officer said. 

The Anjuna police team with the assistance of Dharavi police also arrested Bihar native and Dharavi resident Mohammad Parvez Alam for sheltering the accused and the kidnapped minor. The girl and the accused were brought to Goa on Thursday evening and sent to the Goa Medical College and Hospital for a medical examination. 

The accused has been booked for kidnapping the girl from lawful guardianship and under the Goa Children's Act for child abuse.
