Villagers patrol various areas during night and day

After a fortnight of turmoil and panic, villagers of Mohitewadi, Brahmanwadi and Sategaon of Maval in Vadgaon, Pune, can finally sleep in peace. The villagers had turned vigilantes for two weeks after a rumour spread through WhatsApp audio clips spooked them into believing that a gang of child abductors was active in the district. The rumour was dispelled only after the Vadgaon police of Pune Rural combed the villages and found no trace of any such kidnapper.
