Hoysala team helps PU girl attend her exam

Hoysala team rescues PU girl for semester exam after distress call, praised for resolving issue peacefully.

It was an unlikely rescue for a Hoysala patrolling team, who ensured that a PU girl could attend her semester exam.

The girl, abandoned by her parents and under the care of her maternal grandparents, was under house arrest in Siddapura as an extreme measure to discipline her. The girl, according to the Siddapura Hoysala team, was addicted to her mobile phone and not helping with household chores.

Miffed, the grandparents decided to stop her from going to college despite the girl’s requests to allow her to attend the test scheduled on Monday. With no option left, the victim called 112 and narrated her problem seeking help and also shared her location.

A Hoysala team, led by ASI Ashok, rushed to the house and succeeded in convincing the grandparents. As it was already late for the exam, the police team ferried the girl to her college in Basavanagudi and explained the situation to the principal with a request to allow her to attend the exam as a special case.

Though the police attended as many as 22 distress calls, this case grabbed the attention of senior officials who appreciated the police team for their efforts to resolve the issue amicably.
