According to the Delhi Police, the incident came to light after a newborn was kidnapped from near Pacific Mall, Subhash Nagar. The officials acted promptly and a team scanned over 200 CCTV cameras along possible routes to trace the suspects' movements.
The investigators identified two individuals captured on CCTV arriving on a stolen scooty around 5:00 AM and fleeing with the infant. The vehicle was later found to be stolen from Naraina.
Further investigation revealed that Vikas, who is already in jail in another case, had handed over the stolen scooty to Anil, who later passed it to a juvenile. During sustained questioning, the juvenile disclosed the entire conspiracy.
The police said that Maya, who is a maid living in Uttam Nagar, conspired with her neighbours, Shubh Karan and his wife, Sanyogita (27), who were childless despite several years of marriage.
Maya had noticed a woman living with a newborn on the roadside near Pacific Mall, and the trio planned to abduct the baby. Maya allegedly offered Rs 20,000 to the juveniles to execute the kidnapping. (ANI)
