Bangalore Child Kidnapping: Bangalore Police rescued a 40-day-old baby girl on Saturday and handed her over to her family members. It was reported that a woman had abducted the child from a house in Kalasipalya. Police identified the accused as Nandini alias Ayesha, a resident of Shivajinagar and Mulbagal in Kolar.

The baby’s mother, Fareen Begum, stated in her complaint to Kalasipalya Police that she had come to her maternal home for delivery and was staying there. She had fed the baby in the morning and fell asleep in the hall, only to wake up and find the child missing.

Suspicion led to police notification

After the family contacted authorities in the afternoon, police alerted the control room, which sent messages to all police stations in Bangalore. Meanwhile, a woman on the street noticed Nandini struggling to handle a crying baby. When asked what she had fed the child, Nandini replied, “Upma and milk.” The woman became suspicious, knowing no mother would feed upma to a newborn, and informed neighbors, who then alerted the police control room.

Child reunited with mother within hours of kidnapping

Police detained Nandini and discovered she had stolen the child from a lane near Durgamma Temple in Kalasipalya. The baby was handed back to her mother within hours of the incident. Another woman in the area had breastfed the child due to hunger. Kalasipalya Police contacted Magadi Road Police, who took the accused and child into custody before reuniting the baby with her mother.
