Hyderabad: Cops rescue 6-month old baby from kidnappers

During the probe, the police found that one Shaik Ahmed from Nanded had kidnapped the boy.

Hyderabad: The Rachakonda police on Wednesday rescued a 6-month old boy and apprehended the two persons involved in his kidnapping. The boy was handed over to his parents, while the accused were remanded to judicial custody by the Pahadishareef police on Wednesday.

The boy, son of Soni and Narender, went missing from a family friend’s house in Padahishareef on May 3. Subsequently, a case was filed at the Pahadishareef police station and a special team was formed to rescue the baby. During the probe, the police found that one Shaik Ahmed from Nanded had kidnapped the boy. Following his arrest, the boy was traced to Mir Fayaz Ali of Shaheennagar.

The Rachakonda police commissioner Mahesh Bhagwat explained that the accused Ahmed, a native of Nanded, Maharashtra, had migrated to the city and had been earning his livelihood as an autorickshaw driver. He said that Mahesh had developed friendly relations with Soni’s mother-in-law and had thereafter begun to visit their house occasionally.

“With the intent to sell Soni’s son, he invited the family to spend the night at his place. While the others were asleep, he abducted the boy and sold him to Fayaz for `10,000. Then, he fled to his native place. But we managed to trace and arrest him. The baby was rescued from Fayaz and handed over to his parents on Wednesday,” the commissioner said.
