Ashwani Dass (32) was arrested yesterday and the child was also rescued and reunited with parents, police said.
The incident came to light last evening when police received a call regarding the minor boy's kidnap from Rangpuri Pahari in Vasant Kunj and teams were formed to rescue the child.
During investigations, the boy's mother told the police that she suspected her niece's husband Ashwani behind it as he had earlier threatened to kidnap her son when refused to disclose about the whereabouts of his wife.

According to the police, Ashwani allegedly kidnapped the child in the afternoon when his mother, a house maid, had gone to work. A kidnapping case was registered at Vasant Kunj South police station.
DCP South district Prem Nath said police team conducted intensive hunt for Ashwani, who worked as a painting contractor, and arrested him from a wine shop in Kotla Mubarak Pur.
