Hyderabad: Golconda Police rescued a four-year-old girl within 24 hours of her abduction and arrested two suspects who allegedly planned to pass her off as their own child. The case began when the girl’s mother, Nuzath Fatima, filed a complaint stating that her daughter Safiya Begum had disappeared from her grandmother’s house in Saleh Nagar Kancha.
Responding swiftly, police registered a case under Section 139(1) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita. They immediately began a search operation. After scanning CCTV footage in the area, they identified a woman in a burkha and an auto driver as the suspects. Officers formed nine special teams to trace the pair using camera networks and local informers.
They soon tracked down the auto (TS 15 UF 3372) and arrested Mohammed Faiyaz and his ex-wife, Samreen Begum. Police revealed that the two had planned the abduction after their families rejected their reunion. They wanted to present the kidnapped girl as their own to gain approval.
