Odisha Sun Times Bureau
Bhubaneswar, Mar 28:

A month after a four-year old boy was kidnapped from the railway station in the Odisha capital , the Government Railway Police (GRP) on Friday and arrested the accused Sabi alias Ranima alias Mami alias Rashmita Bagarti (50) of Khariar area of Nuapada district who was later remanded to the Jharpara Jail after the court rejected her bail plea.

The Railway Police, however, are yet to trace out the child who was kidnapped on February 27.

“Sabi had admitted to the crime, but she couldn’t exactly tell about where she sold the kid. She made us to travel about 4000 km in four days. While at times she claimed to have sold the child in Boudh, at other times she claimed to have sold him in Bhadrak, Sambalpur and Howrah. We are yet to find out the child,” said an GRP official here.

It may be noted that the child was kidnapped by the lady from the waiting hall at the Railway station of Bhubaneswar on February 27. The matter came to light after the mother of the lost child Kunti Bamonia lodged a complaint with the GRP here. She was on her way back to Odisha from Haryana via Delhi along with her 3 daughters and 4 year old son Mohit.

The cops raided different places of Puri and Sambalpur the next day and arrested Shantilata Mishra and a physically challenged person with connection to this case.

The mother returned back to Haryana on March 11 after the slow progress in investigation of the case. The cops on the other hand arrested Sabi, the main accused on March 20 and toured all over the state to rescue the child without any success.

A lie detection test was conducted on Sabi on March 23 and she failed in it as per the reports of the test received on March 26.
