An 11-month-old child clung to his kidnapper and cried uncontrollably, refusing to leave his side when Jaipur Police rescued him from Uttar Pradesh, 14 months after his abduction. The unexpected scene took place at a local police station, where the child, Prithvi, appeared visibly distressed and refused to let go of his captor despite police efforts. This video of the incident went viral on social media.
From the viral video, it could be seen that instead of embracing his mother, the child clung to the kidnapper, with whom he had spent so much time that even the kidnapper appeared emotional. When he was carried away by the police to hand over to his mother from the room where the kidnapper was present, the child began to cry uncontrollably and expressed his intense feelings about going back to the kidnapper.

Prithvi had been abducted from the Jaipur district of Rajasthan and was found by police. Before handing him over to his parents, Jaipur police allowed a final meeting between the child and his kidnapper.
The kidnapper, identified as Tanuj Chahar, was a head constable in the Uttar Pradesh Police. On June 14 last year, Chahar, along with four or five accomplices, abducted the 11-month-old child, also known as Kuku, from his home in the Sanganer Sadar area of Jaipur.
