Amroha Crime News: In a shocking incident from Amroha, Uttar Pradesh, a woman kidnapped her tenant’s three-year-old son in a disturbing plot to give her brother an heir. The child has since been safely recovered, and three people, including the woman, have been arrested, thanks to swift action by local police.

Conspiracy to provide an heir

The case unfolded when a three-year-old boy went missing, prompting his parents to file a complaint on October 4 at the Kamla Market Police Station. According to police reports, the woman behind the kidnapping acted because her brother and sister-in-law were deeply saddened by their inability to have a son. In a twisted attempt to ease their pain, the woman decided to abduct the tenant’s child and present him to her brother as an heir.

CCTV footage leads to breakthrough

Upon receiving the complaint, police immediately launched an investigation and began reviewing CCTV footage from the surrounding area. The breakthrough came when officers spotted a suspicious individual leading the missing child towards Gandhi Market. Upon apprehending the minor boy seen in the footage, authorities uncovered the horrifying details of the crime.

The teenager, upon interrogation, confessed that he had abducted the child at the behest of his mother. He further revealed that he had taken the boy to Amroha, where he handed him over to his mother’s brother’s wife, who had long been distressed over not having a male heir.

Arrests made, child recovered

Acting quickly, police apprehended the 26-year-old sister-in-law, the 32-year-old brother, and the 35-year-old woman responsible for orchestrating the kidnapping. The woman had reportedly seen the child playing outside his home and, with the help of her minor son, took him to her brother’s residence.

Thankfully, the police recovered the child safely and arrested the three accused individuals on Tuesday. The child has since been reunited with his family.

This case highlights the extreme and misguided lengths to which individuals can go to satisfy cultural pressures related to having a male heir, raising questions about the underlying social issues that continue to persist in many parts of the country.
