Salem, May 26: In a dramatic turn of events, the Chennai police have successfully rescued a female nurse who was abducted from a Velachery hospital by her "lover". The police apprehended four men, including a distant relative of the victim, who orchestrated the kidnapping following a rejected marriage proposal.

According to The New Indian Express, the primary suspect, S Sabapathi (27), from Ramanathapuram district, allegedly masterminded the abduction after his romantic advances were declined by the nurse.
