On Friday, the Deonar police arrested three accused—identified as Wahid Ali Shaikh, 30, Jishan Khan, 25, and Mobin Qureshi, 42—for allegedly kidnapping a three-month-old girl from Vile Parle last month.

The incident
One of the accused, Mobin, knew 19-year-old Soni Salman Shaikh, the mother of the three-month-old kidnapped girl Falak, as they were both scrap dealers. When he found out that Wahid Shaikh and his wife Shehnaz wanted to adopt a baby, he told them about a baby in his vicinity.
