The Government Railway Police (GRP) claimed to have solved the case in which a one-year-old child was abducted from the city railway station.
The police arrested two suspects, including a woman, and rescued the child safely.
The suspects were identified as Indradev, a resident of Gonda, and Anita Yadav, also a resident of UP.
Station House Officer, GRP, Ludhiana, inspector Palvinder Singh said three days ago, a one-year-old child was kidnapped in the wee hours from the Ludhiana railway station. The police solved the case and recovered him from the Giaspura area. After the incident, the police also recovered the CCTV footage in which the suspects were seen taking the child out of the station premises. Now, further investigation was being done to inquire if the suspects were involved in child trafficking and they had stolen any child in the past. A case was registered against them.
SP, GRP, Balram Rana, said the Ludhiana GRP police team checked approximately 250 CCTV cameras. The biggest lead came from Dholewal Chowk, where the woman was seen getting off an auto-rickshaw with her stepbrother. The police team began tracking the CCTV footage from there, and with the help of human intelligence, they first apprehended Indradev, who revealed her whereabouts.
Later, she was also nabbed.
The complainant, Lalita, a resident of Palia Buzurg village in Fatehpur, Uttar Pradesh, had come to Ludhiana by train with her two children, her younger son Raj (1) and elder son Sanskar (4). She, along with her children, had come to meet her husband in the night. But her husband Ashish told her that the factory gate was closed from outside and she would not be able to get entry now. Hence, she should sleep at the station with the children and come there in the morning.
Ashish, the child’s father, said while his children and wife were sleeping at the station that night, a man and woman arrived. After a short conversation, they laid down their beds next to each other and slept. Later in the night, the suspects took the child along with them while his wife as sleeping. It was in the morning only when she woke up and was shocked to see that their child was missing.
