THANE, Jan. 31 -- A childless couple from Akola has been arrested eight days after they kidnapped a three-month-old infant from Mumbra. The police said the baby girl was reunited with her parents on Thursday. According to the police, the accused couple, Khairunnisha Gulab, 30, and Mohammad Mujeeb Gulab, 31, are residents of Khetari village in Akola district. The police said they were desperate to have a child as they did not have one of their own even after eight years of their marriage. The police said that on January 22, the mother of the kidnapped infant, Farzana Mohammad Mansuri, 23, was crossing Khadi Machine Road while carrying her daughters, three-month- old Aafiya and three-year-old Anabiya. As Mansuri struggled to cross the road while her elder daughter was crying, a burqa-clad woman offered to help her by carrying the infant. The woman, however, fled the spot taking the three-month-old girl with her. Following Mansuri's complaint, the Mumbra police registered a complaint and launched an investigation. The police formed four teams and screened footage from over 1,600 CCTV cameras installed across Mumbra, as well as railway stations stretching from Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT) to Vangani on the Central Railway line. The footage revealed burqa-clad woman accompanied by a man carrying an infant on platform No.2 of the Mumbra railway station. The footage showed that soon afterwards another burqa-clad woman joined them and then departed. The couple eventually boarded a train but could not be found either at the railway station in Thane, Vidhyavihar, or Kurla. The police then tracked down the woman who had met the couple briefly at the Mumbra station, and identified her as Nasrin Ikhlaq Sheikh. When questioned, Sheikh revealed that the woman who allegedly fled with the child was her younger sister and that the infant had been taken to their house in Akola. The police then traced the accused couple and rescued the infant, who was later reunited with her mother. Assistant police inspector Tejas Sawant said, "The accused woman was harassed by her family for not bearing a child. When she saw the victim struggling with two children, she seized the opportunity."...
