Desperate for ‘Son’, Man Kidnaps Boy at Kalyan Station; Apprehended

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.
