Gurugram: An 11-year-old girl who was abducted from Gurugram in 2008 and "sold" to a man in Uttar Pradesh has returned home after 10 long years. Her so-called maternal uncle has been attested on kidnapping and other charges, police said on Friday. The girl was lured and kidnapped by Pushpender from her rented house here in Ram Vihar colony near Dhanwapur. The accused, Pushpender, hails from the victim's maternal village in Mainpuri district in Uttar Pradesh. Police said the accused was a neighbour of the victim's family in 2008. After abducting the minor and living with her for a while, he abandoned her at the Etah bus stand in Uttar Pradesh, police said.
