A 46-year-old woman was allegedly abducted by unidentified persons in Dombivli who robbed her and later abandoned her, the district police said today.
Senior police inspector V M Pawar of Dombivli police station said that on May 25, the complainant, who was out for shopping, saw a woman who appeared to be pregnant and who had covered her mouth with a scarf.
