Police Inspector Seema Mehendale of the Shivajinagar police station said a case was registered against Nagarkar under Section 363 (kidnapping) of the IPC, but added that the woman did not ill treat the child.
“Investigations are on to determine whether a child kidnapping racket was involved,” Mehendale said. Abir’s mother Smita, a resident of Aurangabad who had come to the city for some days to visit her brother, was at the ST stand on Monday afternoon to catch a bus home when she lost the child.
“I realised my son was missing when I reached the entrance gate of the ST stand, after which we immediately filed a missing complaint at the Shivajinagar police station,” Smita said.
She said she and her relatives spent a sleepless night looking for Abir and the search continued till the toddler was finally found yesterday afternoon. She said Abir told her that “grandmother” had given him a free ride in a train.u00a0
