A Rajasthan couple, Sundar Kashyap and Jeevika, aged 28, kidnapped a four-year-old boy, Shovam, from Jaipur railway station to raise him as their own. The kidnapping was caught on CCTV cameras.
A Rajasthan couple who were struggling to conceive allegedly kidnapped a four-year-old boy from the Jaipur railway station last week. According to NDTV quoting police, the couple carried the boy to raise him as their own.
Sundar Kashyap and Jeevika, aged 28 years old, kidnapped the toddler, Shovam, when he and his mother Priyanka were waiting for the train. According to the report, the kidnapping was caught on the CCTV cameras installed at the station.
On March 14, Priyanka and her three children were on their way to her parent's house in Bihar's Siwan when Jeevika lured Shivam. The acccused pair then got on to a bus at the Narayan Singh Circle heading for Uttar Pradesh. After a nightlong search for Shivam, his parents, who are reportedly working as daily wage workers filed a complaint with the GRP on March 15.
"Everything was caught on CCTV, which helped us track the accused," SHO Arun Chaudhary of the GRP said.
The young couple was detained from Mahuwa in the Dausa district of Rajasthan two days later. Eventually, the GRP located he couple and returned the child to his parents within 48 hours.
The child was safe and the accused were then taken into custody when police arrived at their address on Sunday and searched the house.
According to NDTV, Ajmer GRP DSP Narender Singh noted that Jeevika had been living with Kashyap, a worker on daily wage since leaving her husband. She was not able to conceive due to a "sterilisation procedure." Singh also added that the couple "tried medical options to have a child but failed, and they plotted to kidnap a child," reports Times of India.
Both the couple had been preparing to kidnap the child for almost eight months and had spent hours conducting reasearch at the train station before carrying out the plot, reports NDTV quoting the probe.
According to police, both Kashyap and Jeevika intended to name the boy and even considered calling him Ashish.
