Tokyo, Mar 29 (IBNS) A 15-year-old Japanese girl, who was kidnapped in 2014, managed to escape after more than two years in imprisonment, after her captor mistakenly left the door open while leaving for the market, according to reports.

The girl informed the police and later called her parents, post her escape.
