A man has been accused kidnapping and raping a 20-year-old woman for 14 days while keeping her in captivity in a forest area near Mandana town of Kota district in Rajasthan, the police said.
In her complaint at the Anta police station in neighbouring Baran district, the woman said she was able to approach the police after her father managed to rescue her from the 22-year-old man's captivity on November 22.
The woman said accused Phorulal Odd, a resident of Kapren town in Bundi district, kidnapped her on November 9 from her maternal uncle's village where she had gone to attend a wedding in the family, said Anta police official Umesh Manaria.
He said the woman alleged that the man kidnapped her on his motorcycle when she had gone to a nearby field to relieve herself and took her to a forest where she was held hostage by the man and was raped repeatedly, said the official.
