Snapdeal employee Dipti Sarna, who went missing near Delhi two days ago, returned home on Friday and told the police that she was kidnapped by four people at knife-point.
Dipti, 24, called her parents at around 7 this morning and said she was on a train to Delhi. "She called me and said Papa I am fine, please pick me up," her father Narendra Sarna said.
Dipti has told the police that she does not want to press charges against the men who allegedly kidnapped her after she took an auto in Ghaziabad. The alleged kidnappers, she has said, gave her food and took care of her. There was also no ransom demand.
The details of what happened in the two days that Dipti was missing are still fuzzy. The police say Dipti is exhausted and will be questioned in detail later.
"They blindfolded her and dropped her at some railway station at 3 or 4 am," Dipti's father said, adding, "The people who kidnapped her didn't harm her in anyway and they even gave her food on time. I think the people who kidnapped her were beginners and they got afraid... that is why they left her."
Dipti's phone and bag are missing. The police say they are corroborating her statement and are searching for the alleged kidnappers.
On Wednesday, Dipti left the Snapdeal office in Gurgaon and went on her usual route home.
She took the metro to Ghaziabad, where she got into an auto around 8 pm. She has told the police that the auto broke down and then she took another one that had the alleged kidnappers.
As comments on the missing young woman flooded social media, the police launched a massive search.
Snapdeal started an online campaign using #HelpFindDipti, which became a top trend on twitter. The company has tweeted on Dipti being found.
Kunal Bahl, the Snapdeal founder, had said yesterday the organization was working with the police to help locate her.
