  "account": "The Guntur police have traced and arrested a 21-year-old accused named Shaik John Saida, also known as Rabbani, after a three-month-long search. The missing minor girl, a 15-year-old Class X student, was found with him in Karnal, Haryana. The accused and the girl allegedly left home on June 9, 2026, with nearly 250 grams of gold and over ₹1 lakh in cash. Police say Rabbani had befriended the girl through Instagram for over a year, and she had unsuccessfully tried to contact her mother on social media. After her father filed a complaint, the Pattabhipuram police registered a missing case and began an investigation. They traced the duo through various leads, including call detail records, IMEI tracking data, social media information, and IP addresses. The case reached the Andhra Pradesh High Court after the girl's father filed a habeas corpus petition. A Special Investigation Team was constituted to intensify the investigation, and Rabbani and the girl were eventually apprehended in Haryana.",
  "summary": "The accused, a 21 year old resident of Upputuru village in Parchur mandal in Bapatla district, will be produced before a court under the charges of kidnapping the minor girl, with whom he allegedly was in friendship for the last couple of years",
