Bhubaneswar: A constable of the Odisha State Armed Police (OSAP) and two others, who were arrested for attempting to kidnap a woman from Saheed Nagar on Monday night, were forwarded to the court on Tuesday.
According to reports, the woman had a quarrel with her family members and was on the way to the Saheed Nagar Police Station when the three accused going in an auto-rickshaw offered her a lift.
