Recently, a case of attempted child kidnapping has come to light in Narinder Nagar area of Samrala Chowk in Ludhiana on Sunday. An unknown woman tried to kidnap a 5-year-old girl from the window of a car parked outside the house, but due to the alertness of the girl’s father, the accused woman was caught on the spot.
Local resident Manmeet Singh told that he had boarded the car with his 5-year-old twin children (son Gunkirat and daughter Gumkirat) to go to Hurudware. As soon as he started reversing his car, an unknown woman tried to pull his daughter out from the open window of the back seat. Manmeet shouted from his car and caught the woman at the same time.
After catching the woman, many people gathered there. Seeing herself fasting, the woman started acting as if she was mentally disturbed. When people inquired, she started giving vague answers. This enraged the people and made the women of the area parade the caught woman.

The arrested woman has given her name as Anita. When questioned by the police, she denied the kidnapping charge and said – “I did not take the child, she came so I took it myself.” When the police asked the woman if she had taken drugs, she flatly denied it. But the girl’s father said that the woman was fully conscious and her intention was to kidnap and sell the girl.
On receiving information about the incident, officers from Chowki Dharampura (Police Division No. 3) reached the spot. ASI Ram Murthy said – “We had received information that people had caught a woman on charges of child theft. We have taken the woman into custody. She will be taken to the police station for verification and legal action will be taken on the basis of the statements.” The people of the area have demanded from the police that police patrolling should be increased in the areas falling under Division No. 3, so that such incidents can be prevented in future.
