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.
The biological father of Afsar, 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 that area.
During interrogation the accused admitted that they had kidnapped the boy as they had no child of their own. They even sent Afsar to school, police said.
"The accused Mohammad Samin and his wife Nargis, have been arrested and a case under section of 368 (Wrongfully concealing or keeping in confinement, kidnapped or abducted person) of IPC has been registered at Krishna Nagar police station," said Rishi Pal, DCP (east).
"Their role regarding human trafficking angle and other involvements of the couple in child kidnappings are being looked into," the officer said.
