The girls admitted they had staged the incident in hopes of reaching Pune, finding work, and saving enough to fulfill their dream of traveling to South Korea to meet BTS.

The dream of meeting BTS in South Korea took an unexpected turn for three young girls from a village in Maharashtra, as they staged their own kidnapping in hopes of funding their journey. However, their plan unraveled when police intervened, swiftly bringing the dramatic episode to an end.

Their efforts were cut short when police intercepted them mid-journey. After receiving counseling, the girls were safely reunited with their families.

The incident came to light on December 27, when Dharashiv police received a call on their helpline reporting that three girls had been forcibly taken away in a school van from Omerga taluka.
