According to the police, Sonu Prasad (22), a resident of Gopal Ganj in Bihar, was arrested yesterday near New Delhi Railway station and the girl, kidnapped from Dwarkam was rescued from him.
"A taxi driver, who resides as a tenant at Dwarka along with his family, informed us that at about 11 am that his two-year-old daughter was playing with Sonu Prasad outside his house. After some time, his daughter and Prasad, who is a family friend of him, were not found on the spot," said Deputy Commissioner of Police (South-West) Suman Goyal.
The police station at New Delhi Railway Station was also informed immediately about Prasad's description and that a female child was with him. On thorough search, the accused was apprehended at Ajmeri Gate side of the railway station attempting to flee.
During interrogation, Prasad said he works as a mason and had family relations with the complainant which helped him getting close to the child, police said.
