Woman held for abducting homeless infant, planned Rs 6 lakh sale
Ahmedabad Police on Tuesday, 6 October 2026, arrested Jinal Govind Parmar (21) for abducting a 37-day-old infant from a footpath in New Ranip on 2 October. The child was rescued within 38 hours and reunited with his parents, who work as construction labourers. Parmar was apprehended near Sabarmati Railway Station.
Police said Parmar was offered Rs 6 lakh by Bhuvaneshwar alias Bhanu Jatav, arrested from Noida, to arrange a child under one year for a childless couple in Uttar Pradesh. Two juveniles from UP who assisted in the crime were also detained. The infant was abandoned by the suspects in New Ranip after they panicked due to the police operation.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both outlets report the same facts from police briefings: a 21-year-old woman was offered Rs 6 lakh to kidnap an infant, the baby was recovered within 38 hours, and three people were arrested. The Indian Express leads with the abduction and the woman's reconnaissance at Sola Civil Hospital, while the Times of India leads with the rescue timeline and the trafficking angle. Neither outlet questions the police account or provides critical context on the trafficking network. The coverage is uniform straight reporting. The next step is the probe into the wider network, which police said is underway.
