Boy, 3, kidnapped in Chennai rescued from Nagpur

CHENNAI: A three-year-old boy who was kidnapped by two migrant labourers was rescued from Nagpur within 24 hours after the missing complaint was filed.
A couple Mitheelesh, 26, and his wife Meeradevi, 25, who were natives of Bihar worked in a private company in Ambattur Industrial Estate. They were staying in a rented house in Pattaravakkam with their two sons – one five-year-old and the other three-year-old.
They used to lock their children at their home and one of their neighbours who had an alternative key would feed and take care of them.When the couple returned from work on Saturday evening, they found their younger son was missing.
Mitheelesh lodged a complaint at the Ambattur Industrial Estate police station following which they formed special teams to trace the boy.
Initial investigations found that the kid was last seen with G Shivkumar Noriya, 22, and R Monu Karpidass, 25, two migrant labourers who stayed a floor above the victim’s house. “The duo had taken the boy to Chennai central railway station. At the time three trains left to different cities and after analysing the list of passengers and CCTV footage, we found that they had boarded a Nagpur-bound train with the kid," a police officer said.
The senior police officers contacted the railway police in Nagpur who nabbed the duo and rescued the boy on Sunday afternoon. A team of police from Chennai had gone to Nagpur to bring the boy and the accused back to the city. Police said that the duo had planned to sell the boy to a prospective family.
