Authorities in Bengaluru have arrested two women, identified as Hemavathi (43) and Khurshid (40), in connection with the kidnapping of a four-year-old boy. The incident took place in the Hunasemaranahalli area.
The child’s father, Amaraiah, reported him missing on October 25th after receiving a call that his son had disappeared while playing near their home. Quick action by the police, utilizing CCTV footage and other investigative leads, led to the successful rescue of the boy within five hours of the abduction. The child was safely reunited with his family on the same day.
Investigations revealed that Hemavathi, who had experienced three unsuccessful marriages, was deeply yearning for a child of her own. She allegedly confided in Khurshid, who is believed to have assisted in planning the kidnapping.
The Chikkajala police have registered a case against the two women under the relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code. Further investigations are ongoing to ascertain if they have been involved in similar crimes previously.
