Cops launch manhunt to trace kidnapped baby

Police said Vishal, who is an autorickshaw driver from Padmavati, often visited Mahatma Gandhi Housing Society to meet Sonali. Anjali and Sooraj were standing outside their flat on Sunday evening when Sonali and Vishal approached them.

According to the police, Sonali and Vishal played with Sooraj for a short while before whisking him away the boy under the garb of purchasing sweets for him.

Anjali went to the Sahakarnagar police station and lodged the FIR when they did not return for a long time. In her FIR, Anjali expressed suspicion that the duo might have abducted Sooraj with the intention of stealing the jewelry worn by him.
