Kidnapped as a month-old infant, Chennai boy gets reunited with parents after eight years

Aaron was just a month-old baby when a woman kidnapped him in Chennai on November 29, 2014. The police couldn’t trace him and the child grew with his kidnapper until she got arrested in a murder case in 2017. Thereafter, he was raised in a child care home and as luck would have it, he has been reunited with his parents now at the age of eight.

A. John Jabaraj, 35, a goods vehicle driver from Ayanavaram in Chennai, says, he got married to J. Tamilarasi at the Besant Nagar Annai Velankanni Shrine in 2013 and Aaron was their first child born on October 28, 2014. They had taken the month-old baby for vaccination to a government hospital where the kidnapper S. Devi got acquainted with them.

Since the couple was residing in Tirumullaivoyal, the kidnapper woman visited their house in the guise of seeking help in locating a house on rent near their residence. And when Mr. Jabaraj had gone out for work and his wife had been to a nearby teashop, the woman took away the baby from their house and went absconding.
