The incident, which occurred under the jurisdiction of the Bangaon Division, sparked allegations of kidnapping among residents and commuters.

According to eyewitnesses, passengers traveling in the women’s compartment of the train from Dattapukur to Sealdah noticed something amiss when they observed a child hidden inside a woman’s bag.

Alert passengers quickly restrained her and alerted Railway police, who swiftly intervened and took both the woman and the child into custody.

However, the authorities managed to calm the situation with prompt intervention and restored normalcy shortly thereafter.
