AIIMS employee arrested for kidnapping 2-year-old

New Delhi, Nov 10: An

employee was arrested tonight for allegedly kidnapping a two-year-old child from Safdarjung Enclave in south Delhi, police said.

The incident occurred this afternoon when the accused, identified as Deepak was traveling in a bus with the child, who was crying inconsolably. When some fellow passengers asked him as to why the child was crying, the accused who was in an inebriated state snubbed them, police said. Following this, the passengers confronted him and handed him over to the police.
