During the probe, sourc-es were deployed in the area to get a lead into the matter. Meanwhile, police learnt about Deepak’s involvement with the woman. It came to light that the father had an argument with her about the baby a few days ago.
The teams were assigned to investigate the angle of extramarital affair of the infant’s father.
The baby’s mother disclosed that her husband had threatened her with dire consequences. Both the complainant and the other woman were interrogated separately. The woman admitted that she and the complainant hatched a plan and kidnapped the infant so that he could continue with his affair.
She further disclosed that after kidnapping, the child was abandoned at a temple in Ghaziabad, UP. The police teams then were rushed to the said location and somehow recovered the baby.
