Gang Which Abducted And Sold Babies Busted; Six Arrested

The accused were identified as Irfan Khan (26), Salauddin Sayyed (23), Adil Khan (19), Taukeer Sayyed (26), Raza Sheikh and Samadhan Jagtap.

Last month, this gang allegedly kidnapped a two years old girl from Malad, took her to Malwani and later Nashik where they wanted to sell her for Rs two lakh, said a Kurar police station official here.

As the deal fell through, they returned to Mumbai and left the girl at Dadar railway station, he said.

While police reunited the girl with her family, which lived under a bridge, nine teams were formed to nab the accused, he said.

All the accused were booked under Indian Penal Code (IPC) sections 363 (kidnapping), 370 (trafficking of person) and 34 (common intention) and further investigation is underway, the official said.
