According to Jagtial district SP Ashok Kumar, the women got separated from their group during a stampede at a bathing ghat amid the massive crowds. They were found on the night of January 31. A constable from Jagtial police, who is also their relative, went and brought them back. The women had been missing since the stampede on January 29.
