A 16-year-old girl from Mumbai, who had allegedly been lured to Surat by a young man with promises of marriage, was rescued from Ahmedabad's Kalupur railway station after an alert citizen contacted the 181 Abhayam Women's Helpline .
The minor had reportedly been waiting alone at the railway station for nearly six hours for an acquaintance from Ahmedabad when the citizen noticed her distressed state and alerted the helpline.
The Abhayam rescue team reached the station and counselled the girl, during which she opened up about her ordeal.
During counselling, the girl said she had left her home in Mumbai around 20 days earlier after entering into a relationship with a young man.
According to her account, the man had taken her to Surat after promising to marry her. She said she stayed with him for four to five days, during which they had a physical relationship, before he allegedly abandoned her and fled.
