Thiruvananthapuram: The accused has been arrested in connection with the kidnapping of a 2-year-old girl child of migrant workers in Pettah. The arrest was made by a special team led by DCP Nidin Raj in Kollam. Further information about the suspect has not been released by the police.
The accused had been under police surveillance for the last two days. Authorities have stated that crucial information was obtained during the interrogation.
During interrogation, the suspect, who is reported to have a criminal history, confessed to abducting the child with intent to cause harm. The suspect, identified as a Malayali, allegedly covered the child’s mouth to silence the cries, resulting in the child falling unconscious. This led the accused to leave the child and escape from the site.
The incident occurred on February 19 when a 2-year-old child of Amardeep and Ramina, natives of Bihar, was abducted. After 20 hours of intense searching, the baby was found.
