Police said they took the accused, Abhishek Yadav (35), who was posted with Dial-112 in Gorakhpur, to the hospital around 2:30 pm. Upon seeing him there, agitated hospital staff allegedly chased and beat him before police personnel intervened and escorted him to safety, officials said. According to police, the girl had gone to the district hospital on July 28 to deliver food to her elder sister, who was admitted there for treatment. Police said the constable allegedly abducted the girl on the pretext of dropping her home and took her nearly 15 km away to a cremation ground. He said Yadav, a 2018-batch constable, allegedly confessed to his crime during questioning.
