HYDERABAD: A day after a one-month-old boy was abducted from Niloufer hospital, Nampally police arrested three persons and rescued the baby at Pullur Toll Plaza in Jogulamba Gadwal district. The arrested suspects were identified as Shaheen Begum, Abdullah, and Reshma.
During the investigation, police learned that Abdullah and Reshma, married in 2009, already had three daughters and feared their fourth child might also be a girl.It was Reshma's sister, Shaheen, who proposed the idea of kidnapping a boy. The trio targeted Haseena Begum, whose infant son, Saqlain, was being treated for jaundice at the hospital.
On Saturday, while Haseena's mother was holding the baby in the hospital, Shaheen distracted her, allowing the baby to be taken. After Haseena reported the kidnap, Nampally police quickly formed five teams and tracked the suspects using CCTV footage. The accused were apprehended by Gadwal police, and the infant was safely returned to his parents on Sunday.
