A 5-year-old girl was allegedly kidnapped by her mother and her relatives following a marital dispute with her father. The girl was allegedly kidnapped from the custody of her grandparents in Kurali as they were returning home from school on a scooter.
The police recovered the child from the possession of her mother in Mohali and booked five persons, including maternal uncles of the child, in the case.
This came after the girl’s grandmother Bhupinder Pal Kaur complained of the incident to the police.
The complainant told the police that there had been a dispute going on between her son and daughter-in-law over the custody of the child.
Kaur alleged that the child’s mother and her relatives have tried to take away the child forcibly earlier also.
The CCTV footage of the incident shows four-five masked persons, including a woman, waylaying the elderly couple and the child.
A man and a woman restrained the couple while the two others snatched the child from the elderly couple as they fell off the scooter.
