A man who was allegedly abducted while heading to a polling station in Rajasthan was located within a few hours after the Rajasthan High Court directed authorities to trace him.
The incident unfolded when a voter traveling to a polling booth in Rajasthan reported being forcibly taken away. Local police received the complaint and began an immediate search, but the man's whereabouts remained unknown for several hours.
Following the report, the Rajasthan High Court intervened, issuing an order that mandated law‑enforcement agencies to locate the missing individual without delay. The court’s directive prompted a coordinated effort involving district officials, police teams, and local volunteers.
Within a short span after the order, officials traced the man’s location and confirmed his safe recovery. The authorities have not disclosed details about the alleged abductors or the motive behind the kidnapping, but they emphasized that any interference with the electoral process will be dealt with sternly.
