4 men, 1 woman held in Coimbatore
Eleven people were arrested for the kidnap of a four-month-old baby and selling her for ₹4.8 lakh to a Tamil Nadu-based civil engineer, an official said on Tuesday, adding that the infant has been rescued by two Mumbai police teams from Coimbatore.
A probe began after a 50-year-old woman, identified as Anwari Abdul Shaikh, told VP Road police that an infant had been kidnapped by one Ibrahim Shaikh on January 3, after which a case was registered for kidnapping and trafficking of a minor, the police officer said.
“We first arrested Ibrahim Altaf Shaikh (32) based on human and technical intelligence, and then, based on his interrogation, raided areas in Sion, Dharavi, Malad Jogeshwari, Nagpada in Mumbai and Kalyan and Thane. This led to further arrests of two women and four men,” he said.
