MUMBAI: After a chase through multiple states, a police team traced a four-year-old boy who had been kidnapped recently from Malad (east), allegedly by his stepfather.
The accused, Anilkumar Sahani, had told his wife, Laxmi, to arrange for Rs 4. 5 lakh if she wanted to see her child again. Sahani, arrested for kidnapping and extortion, later told the police that he wanted to “teach his wife a lesson” for deserting him.
