New Delhi, September 24

A four-year-old child was kidnapped by an unidentified woman from the New Delhi railway station on September 15, 2016.

The boy identified as Rithik was travelling with his blind parents, mother Laxmi and father Asha Ram, resident of Ranikheda in Mundka village.

They were going to Maharashtra to attend a family function. The boy’s father told 

that when they boarded the train, his son 

asked for water, and while taking a water bottle from the bag, an unidentified woman came to help and helped his son drink water.

“It is normal for people like us as so many people come ahead to help us. But when we called our son, he didn’t respond. Travellers in the compartment said the woman who was feeding water to our son took him away,” he said.

The women who gave water to the boy had spotted the family and chased them. As soon as she got a chance, she picked the boy and fled.

“An FIR was registered and the police, with the help of CCTV cameras, zeroed in on a woman. But she was left as no information was revealed about my son. The police have not come for our help. We also staged a dharna along with other blind people, but no one came to our rescue,” she said.

A senior police officer said, “We are doing our best to find the boy. This is a work of an organised criminal gang.”

On the other hand, president of the Blind Workers’ Association Ram Nath said, “No police had come to our help. The blind couple is worried about the well being of their son. The boy started going to a Nursery school as he was fit and could 

see and hear. Police should come forward to help and find their son else we will be forced to come on road again.”
