HOWRAH: A two-month-old baby boy was allegedly sold off by his uncle for 50,000 on Friday . Police rescued the baby from Kolkata on Sunday evening and handed him over to his parents. While the baby's uncle has gone missing, a woman, who was found with the baby, has been detained.
The baby is the son of Bally-based trader Arjun Shah and Gayatri. On Friday evening, Arjun's brother Deepak, a hawker, told Gayatri that he was taking the baby out for some time. But when Deepak returned to their Kumilla Para home after a few hours, the baby was nowhere to be found.
When the family questioned Deepak, he claimed that the baby had gone missing. But he couldn't explain how he lost the baby. Arjun and Gayatri then lodged a complaint at Bally police station.
Deepak went missing after the complaint. Police initiated a probe immediately and some clues led them to a house on Ratan Sarkar Garden Road in Kolkata on Sunday evening.
Police found the baby with the woman and handed it over to his parents.
"We are trying to gather more information on how the baby reached there and who all were behind the crime. We are interrogating the woman. Hopefully by Monday, we will be in a position to come out with more definite information," said a police official.
