The Government Railway Police (GRP) at Dr. MGR Chennai Central station successfully rescued a one-year-old boy who was kidnapped by an unknown couple. The child, Ayush, was abducted from his parents while they were waiting at the Central railway station. The parents quickly reported the kidnapping and the GRP sprang into action.
CCTV footage at the station captured the kidnapping, showing an unidentified couple taking the child and fleeing in an autorickshaw. The GRP promptly identified the autorickshaw, which led them to a house in Kundrathur, where the couple and the kidnapped child were found.
The couple, identified as Prabhas Mandal and Namitha from Jharkhand, confessed to the kidnapping due to their desire for a child. The couple was detained, produced before a judicial magistrate, and subsequently sent to prison.
