A two-year-old boy who was kidnapped by a man in Mishal Garhi area was rescued from a village in Gorakhpur district, police said today.
Superintendent of Police (Rural) Rakesh Pandey said one Battan had lodged a missing report of his two-year-old son Arjun on April 11 evening at Masuri police station in the district. In the complaint, he also said that one Baijnath used to play with his son.
After tracing Baijnath's number to his native village in Gorakhpur, a police team was immediately dispatched to Gorakhpur district in UP yesterday.
Late last night, police nabbed Baijnath from his house and rescued the child. During interrogation, he confessed of his crime, Pandey said.

Both the accused and the child were brought to Ghaziabad today, he added.
Baijnath confessed that he was under depression as he was childless even after 5 years of marriage. So he had kidnapped the child. However, he told police that ransom was not his motive.
