Sita Devi has left no stone unturned to find her two teenaged daughters in the past eight months.

But hardly anything is working for her - not even the janata durbar of chief minister Nitish Kumar.

The 35-year-old woman of Warsaliganj in Nawada district alleged her daughters had been kidnapped by the relatives of her former landlord eight months ago.

She visited Nitish's janata durbar on Monday and that of former deputy chief minister Sushil Kumar Modi on Tuesday to impress upon the leaders how much her daughters matter to her, and get them rescued.

"This is the fourth time that I visited the chief minister's janata durbar. I told Nitish that nothing has been seriously done so far to find my daughters - Ragini Kumari (15) and Ragmani Kumari (13). He has assured me that things would move now and asked me to meet Patna zonal inspector-general of police," Sita said.

Sita had gone with her husband Upendra Sao to their native Samastipur district for treatment of her illness on August 20, 2015, leaving her two daughters at their residence in Warsaliganj, where Upendra ekes out a living by selling popcorn.

The next day, they came to know that their two daughters had gone missing.

"Earlier, we used to live as tenants in the house of one Subedar Yadav in Sheikhpura town. His son and three nephews used to continuously tease and make calls to my daughters, because of which we shifted to Warsaliganj in Nawada district. They did not stop at this and would even come to Warsaliganj to harass my daughters. We objected to all this but they, as well as, Subedar, used to threaten us that they would kidnap my daughters," Sita told The Telegraph.

Her husband fell ill after the incident, and the hapless woman did rounds of the Warsaliganj police station to get an FIR registered but to no avail.

An FIR was finally registered after a week on the intervention child welfare committee in the district. The names of the suspects were not included in the FIR though.

Later, three suspects were taken into custody but they secured bail.

Since then, they have been allegedly harassing the woman and her husband, asking them to take off the case else they too would be abducted. "The accused keep accosting us here and there, or call us and threaten that if we do not withdraw the case against them, we will also meet the same fate as our daughters. We want justice and safe recovery of our daughters," Sita said.

She has also provided all the telephone numbers used by the accused to harass her daughters and threaten them.

This newspaper tried to contact Patna zonal inspector-general of police N.H. Khan but to no avail.

However, Nawada superintendent of police Vikash Burman said the police were now looking into all aspects of the case to solve it. "Earlier, we had arrested three juveniles but they are now out on bail. They say they knew the girls but pleaded innocence about the kidnapping charges. We have registered a separate FIR against Subedar Yadav after Sita Devi accused him of intimidating her," Vikash said.

He added that both the girls were last seen by a telephone booth owner at Gaya railway station from where they called the boys.

"They asked the boys to come to Gaya so that they all could run away but the boys claim that they did not go there. The girls have not contacted their parents so far. We are making all efforts to solve the case," he added.

As the case is still a mystery, Sushil Modi said he had talked to SP Vikash in this regard and would speak to other senior officials as well. "It could also be a case of trafficking," Sushil added.

Sita is however determined to take her search forward. "I will knock at all doors for justice and find my daughters," she said.
