The Banashankari police are now in a fix over an alleged abduction of a four-year-old girl by an employee of a furniture shop on December 28. The investigation has shown the case involved a custody battle between the girl’s parents.
The father of the girl, identified as Shafiulla, owner of a furniture shop from Kaveripura, filed a complaint that his employee, Waseem, had taken the girl on the pretext of getting her chocolate from a nearby shop and abducted her. In his complaint, Shafiulla said Waseem had quit the job and rejoined a few days ago.
Based on a complaint, the police swung into action and found the girl to be safe with her mother. Inquiries revealed that Shafiulla was separated from his wife over a domestic row and had taken the daughter along. Both the parents are fighting for the custody of the baby girl, and the mother got her back through the employee.
