Near Botanical Garden in Shibpur, Shaw forced Sabita into a flat and locked her up.After remaining confined for eight hours, she managed to escape when Shaw went to the toilet.
Once outside, she raised an alarm. Locals prevented Shaw from escaping and took both to the police station, where he was arrested.
