In a bizarre incident from Maharashtra, three young girls have been detained by the police after allegedly staging their own kidnapping. The girls, aged 11 and 13, are from a village in Dharashiv district. They had planned the stunt to raise money for a trip to South Korea, where they dreamed of meeting the internationally renowned K-pop group, BTS.
According to officials from the Omerga police station, the girls had devised the plan on Friday, hoping to create a situation that would attract public attention and help them gather funds. Their ultimate goal was to travel to South Korea to meet their favorite band members.
The girls scheme involved fabricating a kidnapping scenario, but it quickly unravelled. Authorities intervened, and the girls were safely located and brought in for questioning. After understanding the situation, the police conducted a counselling session with the girls and their families.
Following the intervention, the minors were handed back to their families, with an emphasis on educating them about the importance of responsible behavior. Authorities have also urged parents to be vigilant and ensure their children understand the potential consequences of such dangerous actions.
The incident highlights the growing influence of pop culture, particularly K-pop, on younger generations. Despite their innocent intentions, the girls’ actions serve as a reminder of the need for careful guidance and supervision for minors in today’s media-driven world.
