The Pune Police on Wednesday arrested a 30-year-old Solapur resident along with his friend for allegedly kidnapping his three-year-old son in order to bring his wife back home. Police officials said the man committed the crime in order to make his wife, who was living with her parents at Tathawade for the past few months, return home.

A team of Pimpri Chinchwad crime branch traced the man and his son to Uruli Kanchan and took him into custody. "We handed the man and his friend to the Wakad police. The boy is now with his mother," assistant inspector Ambarish Deshmukh told Times of India.
