      "The woman was found by locals sitting outside a stranger's house. When they asked who she was and why she was sitting there, she could not give proper answers and hence they brought her to the police station,"Tuti said. He said that the woman was not beaten by locals or heckled, she was handed over to the police who have managed to trace her family and are waiting for them. "The photos have been clicked after she was handed over to the police."

      Tuti added, "Most of the messages claiming a child kidnapper has been caught in Jharkhand are false. People should be alert and not spread fake messages."
