Bengaluru, Jun 27: A 14-year-old girl who had fallen to the trap of a lover who got introduced to her on Instagram, was saved by her alert father just before she flew to Hyderabad to meet him.

The personnel of the cyber police station here have registered a case against the lover in question, Vishal, accusing him of tricking the girl into creating fake documents and conspiring to bring their to Hyderabad.

Vishal reportedly created a fake SSLC marks card to show that she the girl has attained 18 years of age. The police, who have registered a case under some provisions of Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act and cheating, are now planning to arrest him.

The girl, who is studying in eighth standard, was active on Instagram. She got to know a boy, Vishal, through Instagram. She thought that it was true love. Vishal, who is from Hyderabad, planned to get the girl there. He convinced her to live together with him, and created fake SSLC marks card in her name. He asked her to come to Hyderabad with her Aadhar card, 15 passport size photos and Rs 10,000 in cash. The girl totally believed in him and reached the airport from home. But the father who had noticed subtle changes in his daughter's behaviour, got suspicious after noticing that she was out of the house for a long time. He checked her Instagram account and came to know of her plan to fly to Hyderabad. He rushed to Kempegowda International Airport here, found his daughter waiting for her flight, and convinced her to accompany him back home.

The parents who checked internet got doubt that Vishal must be a person who was involved with cyber-crimes who had cheated several girls in the past. Therefore, they filed a complaint in the cyber station. The police are trying to trace Vishal.
