The three men had fled and were found by police teams.
Lalitpur Superintendent of Police Nikhil Pathak said, “The trio had fled from Lalitpur to Mirzapur and were trying to contact some lawyers. Police raided the hotel where they were staying.”

The girl’s mother has also filed an FIR against her husband and in-laws alleging serious domestic violence and constant harassment by the accused father of molestation of her daughter.
