Hyderabad police rescued two abducted girls aged four and three-and-a-half within four hours on Tuesday and arrested the accused, Chaku Soren, near Ghatkesar railway station. The girls had gone missing from a labour camp in Kondapur on Monday evening. Police formed special teams and alerted railway police along the Kolkata route after tracking Soren's call records. Soren, a 45-year-old West Bengal native, allegedly confessed to intending to sell the children to begging rackets, police said, adding that the claim is being verified. He has a prior record of attempted murder and rape cases in West Bengal, where he served five years in prison. The girls were reunited with their parents. Police urged labour camps to install CCTV and verify workers' backgrounds. The accused will be produced before a court for remand.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

The Times of India led with an alleged trafficking bid and a police foil, framing the crime as averted danger, while Siasat's two versions both front-loaded the rescue and the speed of the police response. TOI quoted the accused's confession about a begging racket and his criminal past, Siasat omitted those details entirely, stripping the motive from its account. The practical difference is that TOI gives the reader a more complete picture of the risk, while Siasat's coverage is purely procedural, favouring the police achievement over the crime. The case now hinges on whether the alleged trafficking intent holds up in court.
