According to Nishu's family, she had gone to the market in Baldau Chowk on Friday afternoon.
Some shopkeepers accused the victim and two of her friends of stealing passports and caught them. They called the police and handed them over to inspector Yogesh Pathak.
Police took the three to the Kotwali police station and after questioning they were handed over to their relatives.
