NEW DELHI: A seven-year-old boy, allegedly kidnapped by his mother’s former live-in partner to coerce her into resuming the relationship, was rescued by police, who arrested the prime accused and three associates.
The mother had ended her relationship with 24-year-old Ajay Verma in Delhi after he became possessive and violent. Verma, a mobile repair worker, conspired with Amit (18), Sachin (20) and Ajay (20) to abduct the child. CCTV footage revealed two men on a motorcycle taking the boy. Technical surveillance and social media tracking led police to a farm in Hansi, where the child was rescued. Ajay from Vikaspuri was arrested separately with a pistol.
