5 men snatch baby at Z-bridge

2-month-old was along with his homeless family on the time, round 2 am on Wednesday

In an alarming case of kidnapping, a two-month-old child was snatched from his impoverished, homeless family, whilst they all slept on the Shaniwar Peth facet of the Z-Bridge, within the wee hours on Wednesday.

Around 15 hours after he was snatched, as of Wednesday night time, Deccan Gymkhana police have been yet to find the lacking child, whilst his mom Rangeela Chand lamented his absence, telling Mirror, “I breastfed my child no less than seven instances an afternoon. Now, this mom’s milk is simply going waste, and I don't even know if my child is hungry or neatly taken care off.”

Rohit Chand is the firstborn of Rangeela and Chand Chavan, who're migrant footpath balloon dealers. According to the complaint filed in this case, the family was dozing round 2 am, when 5 men — who spoke fluent Marathi — came to them on different cars from the Shaniwar Peth facet and took the kid away. The panic-stricken family, including Rangeela, her aunt and mom gave them an unsuccessful chase sooner than speeding to the cops.

According to police officials, the same workforce of men had earlier come to the mum and forced her to promote the kid.

“These men have been dressed like and talk like goondas. They came per week ago and declared that one in all them has no child in spite of being married for years. They wanted to shop for my child and mentioned they might feed and produce him up significantly better than we could ever organize. We told them that if you want to remove our food, we wouldn’t mind — but don’t even come on the subject of the kid,” mentioned a griefstricken Rangeela, including, “Though we don't stay at a specific position for a number of years, now we have been in Pune for long and talk Marathi. My son needs to be fed often and I am anxious, as it's been over part an afternoon since he ate in my hands. My husband has long past with a police workforce looking for our child, and this is probably the most unlucky day of our lives.”

Sources mentioned that despite the fact that some closed-circuit television (CCTV) digital camera footage of the incident was bought, the picture quality was on the lower facet.

The yet-to-be-identified accused were booked beneath section 363 (kidnapping) of the Indian Penal Code, in addition to relevant sections of the Juvenile Justice Act.

“We have secured some visuals and according to this and the outline by the family, we're making ready the sketches of the accused. Meanwhile, our groups have already fanned out across the town to rescue the boy,” mentioned senior police inspector Deepak Lagad of Deccan police station.
