Desperation for a son leads a 32-year-old father of four girls to conduct an appalling act of kidnapping a 4-year-old boy on the outskirts of Mumbai. The child, Atharva, was playing when the abduction was carried out outside the waiting room at Kalyan railway station on a Monday morning.
The kidnapper identified as Kachru Waghmare, a daily wager, is a Nashik resident. He left the station premises with the child and went around the city to buy sweets and food for him. Subsequently, he came back in order to board a train to Jalna, approx 350 km away.
Meanwhile, Atharva’s father went to the Government Railway Police (GRP), upon realization that his son was nowhere to be found, to inform them about their missing child. After lodging a first information report (FIR), the GRP began their search and started scanning the closed-circuit television (CCTV) camera. The CCTV installed in the station premises caught Waghmare with the boy.
In evening, when Waghmare returned to the station with the boy and his family to board the train to Jalna, the officials acted swiftly and apprehended him.
The rescued boy was later reunited with his labourer parents, Karan and Shubhangi Gupta, who lived on Kalyan station premises with their son and two-year-old daughter Kirti.
