In a distressing incident in southeast Delhi’s Jaitpur area, a 39-year-old man was arrested for the alleged kidnapping of an 11-month-old child. The accused, identified as Naveen Mishra, was taken into custody after his wife returned the child to the police.
The mother of the kidnapped toddler, who runs a beauty parlour in Jaitpur and has two children, reported the incident to the police. According to her complaint, at around 8 pm on Wednesday, her son started crying, prompting her eight-year-old daughter to take him outside the parlour for some fresh air. Shortly afterward, the daughter informed her that a man had taken the toddler away on a motorcycle.
Following the complaint, an FIR was registered, and the police initiated an investigation. CCTV footage revealed the suspect carrying the kidnapped child on a motorcycle, and further examination led to the identification of the vehicle’s registration number in the name of a woman.
