Police trace 26-year-old accused within 6 hours
The Uran police on Monday arrested a 26-year-old childless woman for allegedly kidnapping a three-month-old boy.
The woman, who hails from Jalna and resides at Jasai in Uran with her husband, used to frequently go to Navghar where she holds a bank account.
During her visits, she had noticed a house which had an infant.
Around 11 a.m. on Monday, she approached the mother of the boy and said that she was from anganwadi and enquired if the baby had taken the polio dose.
“The woman told the mother to get her three-year-old daughter ready while she would look after the boy. After the mother went inside, the accused fled with the boy,” senior police inspector Ravindra Budhwant from Uran police station said.
