A video caught on CCTV cameras showing an unidentified man picking up a 7 month-old around midnight on Saturday at the Pune Railway Station has been making the rounds on social media.

Not only did the abduction bring up pressing questions regarding security provisions in public spaces, but also led the police to suspect a kidnapping racket which operates at the Pune railway station and makes newborns and infants its target. 

A 7-month-old child was kidnapped from the area of the Pune railway station on Saturday night at around midnight, according to the railway police.

Shravan Ajay Telang is the child’s name, and his father Ajay has lodged a complaint at the Bund Garden police station. The Telang couple come from the Bhusawal district, according to the officials. While visiting their mother-in-law in Pune, Telang and his spouse discovered that their child was nowhere to be seen. The terrified couple then went to the Bund Garden police station to register a case after approaching the railway police at the station. Senior police inspector Sandipan Pawar and his team visited the location for additional investigation.

Police have gathered footage from the area’s CCTV cameras showing it and are contemplating the possibility of it not being an isolated case that happened but one of many abductions executed by a larger racket. 

An anonymous RPF official elucidated the speculation and said that they have seen multiple kids being kidnapped from the Pune Railway Station in the last decade. As a milestone in their operation ‘Nanhe Farishte’, over 500 children were saved from the train station by the Railway Protection Force and the Government Railway police and other frontline railway authorities. 

The official added that the RPF seem to have identified a pattern in the abduction incidents at the station and there is a strong speculation that there is a racket behind the kidnappings and other related crimes. 

GRP senior police inspector Rajendra Gaikwad has stated that they will soon bust the racket and bring the infant back to its parents.
