MUMBAI: The Bhoiwada police on Sunday rescued an 8-year-old boy who was kidnapped by his mother’s boyfriend and taken to Pardhiwada in Sewri.
According to the police, the boy went missing while playing outside his house in Naigaon, Dadar. Initially, police suspected the child may have been taken by his mother’s former husband. However, further investigations showed her boyfriend was also missing. On the hunch that the boyfriend might be the culprit, the police formed two teams to search places he was likely to have taken the boy. One team went to Hadapsar, while another continued the search in Mumbai.
Senior inspector Jitendra Pawar said their Mumbai team tracked the accused down and rescued the child from Pardhiwada in Sewri. The police arrested the boyfriend, Vijay Ahire. He has been remanded to police custody.
