A 10-year-old boy, who was kidnapped around nine years ago from a government hospital in Delhi by a childless couple, has been rescued and reunited with his parents and the duo was arrested. In November 2007, Afsar, who was one-year-old, was accompanying his pregnant mother Farida to Babu Jagjivan Ram Hospital in Jahangirpuri for a check up when he was kidnapped by the accused couple, police said. Afsar’s father, a resident of Bhalswa Dairy area in Jahangirpuri, recently lodged a report at Krishna Nagar police station in east Delhi claiming that his son was seen in the area. The accused couple was also arrested, a police officer said. During interrogation the accused admitted that they had kidnapped the boy as they had no child of their own.
