Ongole: A 7-year-old girl, Devirerddy Sahasra, who was kidnapped from her home in Kanigiri was successfully rescued by the Prakasam district police on Thursday night. According to the details revealed by the police, Sahasra was kidnapped by her uncle Rajesh Reddy, brother of her father Srinivasula Reddy. Devireddy Srinivasula Reddy and his wife Malleswari are government teachers and residents of Kanigiri.
They had two girl children Lasya and Sahasra aged about nine and seven years respectively. After the completion of the half-day school, Srinivasula Reddy dropped the two girls at their home in Kothapet and went to market on a work.

After investigation and inputs from locals, the Markapuram DSP Haribabu, Kandukuru DSP Srinivasa Rao, Kanigiri CI Sudhakar Rao, SI Srinivasulu and HM Padu SI Haribabu formed a team who discovered that kidnappers were in Vijayawada.
