31 May
Summary
- Six-month-old infant abducted by a stranger at a bus terminus.
- Police rescued the baby safely from a child trafficking gang.
- Five suspects, including a couple, were detained in the rescue operation.
A six-month-old baby, abducted on Saturday from the Panjapur bus terminus in Trichy, was successfully rescued by the city police on Sunday evening. The infant was recovered from a gang operating in Mayiladuthurai. The abduction occurred when the mother, who was begging with her child, was befriended by a woman offering job prospects.
The woman lured the mother to the bus terminus, and during a brief moment when the baby was handed over, the abductor fled with the infant. Special teams were formed, and extensive analysis of CCTV footage led to the swift rescue. The investigation revealed the involvement of five people, including a couple who had longed for a child for 16 years.
All five suspects have been detained and brought to Trichy for ongoing questioning regarding their roles in the abduction and attempted trafficking. The successful operation highlights the police's rapid response and investigative capabilities in reuniting the child with her family.
