"After going through footage of CCTV installed in the station and interrogating vendors there, we found that a woman and a man kidnapped the minor. We first arrested the man, who used to work as a vendor at the station from past few years," he said.

Gupta said the man, identified as Raju, later revealed the involvement of his wife, Pinki, in committing the crime.

During interrogation, the accused revealed that they have kept the minor girl at their in-laws' house in Ghaziabad, from where the toddler was recovered.

The child is safe and there was no sign of assault found, Gupta said.
