A woman, the key accused in the abduction of two boys, who was taken into custody from Guwahati in Assam by a team from the Vadakkekara police has been given bail by a chief judicial magistrate court there.
However, Sahida, 60, a resident of Assam and a relative of the abducted children, has been granted bail on condition that she should appear before the Paravur judicial magistrate first class court. As such, the police team had left Guwahati with the two boys, aged nine and five, and are expected here by Sunday. Sahida was intercepted with the abducted children at the Guwahati airport based on information shared by the Vadakkekara police.
“On being brought here, the children will be presented before the Child Welfare Committee, which will take a decision on their care. It has emerged that a similar attempt at abduction was made some time ago but was foiled by the parents at the railway station,” said police sources. The Vadakkekara police have already arrested three persons and booked them under IPC Section 363 (abduction). The arrested are Raham Ali, 27, Jahadh Ali, 26, and Samnas, 60, all residents of Assam.
