The Mumbai railway police has released the video footage that shows a man kidnapping a three year old girl child while she lay asleep on the platform of the busy Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus.
The crime occurred on the intervening night of June 10-11. The video shows a dark complexioned man wearing an off white shirt and pant walking through the platforms to Platform number 14.
The child, Sangita Pawar and her four siblings were sleeping on the platform with their parents who work as daily wage labourers in the city. They had missed the night train to their hometown and were sleeping on the platform so as to catch the next train scheduled for early next morning.
All three were in deep sleep when the accused came and sat near them. Then in a flash, he caught hold of the sleeping child and coolly walked off with her.
Sangita’s parents lost her at one of the busiest railway stations in the country, yet not one of the thousands of persons present there realised that a child has been kidnapped before their eyes.
The police on identifying the accused on CCTV footage stitched together the entire sequence of events.
Having failed to locate him on their own, the police have sought the help of the citizens to nab the accused and save baby Sangita.
