Mother and daughter bond is a sensitive issue and the vibe well mentally too defying laws of magnetism that `like poles repel.’ This incident at Mumbai is a classic example.

In Mumbai, a mother was almost abducted by her driver and at knife point demanded her money. Unable to get in touch with her driver and the mother, the daughter sensed trouble. She immediately informed her father who subsequently informed the police. From then on the investigations began a frantic search of the car and its occupants. But another call by the mother to the daughter asking for ATM pin numbers consolidated their doubts of the mother in trouble. This call also helped them locate the location of the car. Finally the sleuths and the family members zoomed on the criminals and retrieved the lady, who was all of praise for the daughter.

Meera Malhotra (57) is a school teacher in Bishop Co-ed School, Kalyani Nagar, Pune, starts daily from her house at 7 am to reach the school. On her regular exercise on Tuesday her driver Mohammed Ashiq alias Abdul Sattar (28) was the abductor. Ashok Malhotra (61), the husband of the teacher and Tarang the daughter played key roles in securing the release of the lady.

According to the cops, they found 26 SIM cards from the accused and also recovered stolen cash of Rs 25,000 and some gold ornaments belonging to Meera from their possession. The stunned revealed that "We never thought our driver would do something like this. But I feel he might have made up his mind to commit such a crime, after he got access to my wife's HDFC Bank passbook, which I had given to him to hand over to my wife once. I am sure, he is literate and her savings figure made him plan the crime." Ashok also went on further to inform that "The driver informed the police that he had plans to withdraw money from various ATMs within two days using my wife's card and then set the car on fire with her inside and stage it as an accident.”  (With inputs from internet: AarKay)
