Family members, relieved by her return, disclosed that the girl was discovered locked inside the rider's residence. 

They recounted the distress since her disappearance last Wednesday but chose not to disclose their identity to protect the minor's privacy. 

Police investigations revealed that the suspect would confine the girl during the day, leaving for work and returning later in the evening.

The ordeal began when the girl went missing after setting out to visit a cobbler to mend her shoes in preparation for school reopening. 

She had boarded the suspect's motorbike the day before, ostensibly to reach the cobbler. 

However, instead of taking her to the cobbler as agreed, the rider allegedly collected the shoes himself and concealed this fact from the girl.

Narrating her experience to the police, the girl recounted how the man lured her into his house under false pretenses and confiscated her mobile phone upon arrival. 

She detailed how he provided food and alcohol, coercing her to consume it after feeding him. 

Despite the captivity, she managed to retrieve her phone while the suspect was occupied elsewhere, snapping photos of her surroundings and sending them to her mother for help.
