‘Kidnapped’ boy in Mumbai home,‘abductors’ still in jail

The boy had been missing since last December and and his parents had filed a kidnapping case against five persons with whom he had gone to Mumbai to work.

Manoj and Chandan are lodged in Mau Jail,while Santosh,Guddu and Anil are absconding. “Now since the picture is clear,a police team will be sent to Mumbai to get the boy back. We will produce boy before the court and then file an application requesting to release both persons lodged in jail,” said Investigation Officer Munawar Hussain.

Hussain said that they had come to know that the boy’s father Mohan Chaurasia had already left for Mumbai to get his son back. “I’ve spoken to the boy and he told me how he reached the protection home,” said IO. On Saturday,a man who had returned from Mumbai went to the Mohammadabad police station and told them that he had seen the missing boy in the Mumbai protection home. He had gone to the home to meet a relative lodged there,when he was told about this boy.

“The man told us that when he met the boy,he gave him his family’s details. We cross-checked the details with the police records which tallied and then we informed the boy’s family,” said a police officer.

The boy,along with his relatives and neighbours,had gone to Mumbai for work. In February,a relative informed his parents that he had gone missing. The family rushed to Mumbai,but failed to find him.

In April,the boy’s mother Radhika Chaurasia lodged a case against five persons with whom boy had gone to Mumbai,alleging that they had kidnapped and sold her son.

After the FIR was lodged,a police team also went to Mumbai in search of the boy but failed to find him.
