7-Month-Old Child Rescued and Woman Accused in Abduction Case Apprehended by RPF Pune

Pune Division, Central Railway, successfully rescued a 7-month-old boy and apprehended a woman accused in an abduction case, following swift and coordinated action by the Railway Protection Force (RPF) Pune on 23 June 2025.

The operation was initiated after the Divisional Security Control Room, Pune, received an alert from Government Railway Police (GRP), Hajipur, regarding an abduction case registered on 18 June 2025. The suspects—a man and a woman—were traced to Pune Railway Station through mobile location tracking.

Under the direction of Sr. Divisional Security Commissioner (Sr.DSC), Pune, officers and personnel of RPF Thana Pune launched an intensive search operation. Multiple RPF teams were immediately deployed across strategic points of Pune Railway Station, including all platforms and key access routes, with special focus on Platform No. 3.

The man identified himself as Munna Kumar Rajbhar (24), resident of Kopa Samota, P.S. Kopa, District Chapra, Bihar. The woman identified herself as Poonam Devi (30), resident of Daya Chapra, P.S. Raghunathpur, District Siwan, Bihar. Upon being questioned about the child in their custody, both failed to produce any satisfactory explanation or valid documents of guardianship.

Their photographs, along with that of the child, were shared with GRP Hajipur, who confirmed their identity as the accused persons wanted in the registered abduction case.

Subsequently, the woman was taken into formal custody, and the 7-month-old child was safely rescued and kept under protective care at RPF Thana, Pune. A police team from GRP Hajipur has reached Pune to take custody of the accused and the rescued child.

Further legal proceedings are underway.
