Organ trafficking suspected in abduction of divyang woman’s baby in Bhubaneswar
Abduction of the divyang woman’s child from near Ram Mandi in Bhubaneswar and his subsequent rescue from Balasore, has raised serious concerns over a possible organ trafficking attempt.
Initial reports suggest the child was abducted by a woman who later handed over the baby to another woman whose son is reportedly suffering from kidney-related ailments.
Meanwhile, police have detained the woman for questioning. It is suspected that she stole the baby and handed him over to another relative.
The motive behind the abduction is currently under investigation, with strong suspicions pointing towards the intention of organ trafficking. However, the police have not officially confirmed this angle yet.
Further inquiry is underway to uncover the full details of the case, and whether a larger network is involved. The incident has sparked fear among residents and demands for a deeper probe are growing.
Notably, the two-year-old baby boy was allegedly kidnapped from the arms of his visually impaired mother near Ram Mandir in Bhubaneswar late Saturday night. Later, the baby was rescued on Tuesday and the abductor was arrested.
Commissionerate Police traced the baby boy after checking the CCTV footages at various railway stations and collecting clues from various sources.
Earlier, the CCTV footage, which became a crucial piece of evidence, showed the abductor escorting the baby boy from near the well-known Ram Mandir area at around 2:56 am on Saturday night. Based on the clue from the CCTV footage, the police managed to reach the abductor in Balasore.
The boy's mother, Jayanti Mallick, who is visually impaired, had reported the matter to the local police following the abduction of her child.
The Commissionerate Police formed special teams who conducted raids at various locations based on the CCTV footages at various railway stations. They eventually traced the abducted boy in Balasore and rescued him.
