He added, "Attempts are being made to trace the abducted bride. Her picture has been sent to 17 police stations in Ghaziabad, where the bride is suspected to be kept. We are also raiding other places in Uttar Pradesh."

Rajput community leader Gririraj Singh Lotwada, on Saturday, appealed to the community to maintain peace and avoid any untoward act. "The Director General of Police (DGP) has assured me that the bride would be traced soon. He has got some significant clues. Let's maintain law and order in the state and let the police be allowed to do their job," he said. On Wednesday, Hansa Kunar, while going to her husband's house after marriage, was abducted by armed men.
