Hyderabad: In another two hours, Ayush along with his mother Sanju and sister Anjali would have boarded Danapur Express at Secunderabad railway station to leave for Kanpur but ended up being kidnapped.
Ayush, Anjali and Sanju had spent only 15 days in the city. Sanju came here with the confidence that her husband’s younger brother Vijay Bahadur, who also lives in the city, would support her and the children.
Sanju, waiting for the police to rescue her kidnapped son, said that she has been waiting for her brother-in-law at the station from yesterday evening after he informed her that they would go back to their native place and live there.
“I left my son and daughter at the general waiting hall and went outside the station to get them some food. When I returned, my son Ayush was missing. My daughter Anjali told me that two women had given biscuits to Ayush and taken him,” Sanju told the media.
The investigators recovered some footage of the suspects and showed it to Sanju hoping she could identify them, but she could not. “When asked if she suspected her brother-in-law of being behind the kidnap, Sanju said she trusted him and they were planning to start a new life. However, Bahadur did not turn up and Sanju is still waiting for him,” said GRP Superintendent G. Ashok Kumar, after interacting with Sanju.
The superintendent suspected that the women could be part of a gang that kidnapped children and forced them to do labour. “The way the kidnap took place, the fact that they did not even touch the girl child, raises suspicion that the kidnappers could not be only the two women, but part of a gang that is operating. It is certain that the kidnappers were following Sanju at least from yesterday night and were waiting for an opportunity to kidnap the boy,” said the official.
