Hyderabad: The Humayunagar police vowed to reunite 29-year-old Shabana Begum, with her lone 14-month-old son who was kidnapped by two burqa-clad women about a week ago.
During the early hours of November 7, the burqa-clad women had approached Shabana Begum, while she was taking shelter under pillar number 14 of PVR Express flyover along with her son Mohammed Shaik Hussain alias Sameer.
The culprits diverted her attention by offering eatables laced with sedatives and kidnapped her son in the dark after she fell asleep, police sources disclosed.
Shabana, who worked as a maid during the Covid pandemic, has started begging in Ahmed Colony for survival as she could not pay rent after she lost her job.
Her husband left her after marriage and the poor lady had to give birth to Hussain in a government hospital in the city fourteen months back.
Ever since the kidnap, Shabana has been afflicted with trauma and is awaiting police restoring her son to her.
“One of the women, who offered eatables to me, was short and fair. She spoke politely and gained my trust. She also asked me whether she and her sister can sleep beside me to which she agreed,” said Shabana with tears welling up her eyes.
Later when I awoke, my son and the burqa clad women were missing. When I inquired, one of the women who sleeps on the other side informed me that the burqa clad woman had covered my son with a black cloth and left, she said.
I rushed to the police station and the officers immediately responded and collected the CCTV footage that displayed the burqa clad woman, she said.
West zone police along with cops from Humayunagar and Asifnagar stations have formed six teams and have gone through hundreds of CCTV cameras right from Mehdipatnam to Moinabad, police sources disclosed.
The kidnappers who used a mobile phone and a vehicle vanished into the interior village of Moinabad, which has no CCTV access. However police refused to disclose the details of the vehicle in which they travelled.
“Our teams are working 24/7 and we have taken a tower dump as one of the kidnappers spoke on her mobile phone. We will be getting the Call Dialing Records (CDR) and location details very soon. They will be nabbed and the child will be rescued,” N Vinod Kumar, sub inspector of Humayunagar police said.
