Father blames wife over custody dispute

After the kidnapping, the child’s father strongly accused his wife of planning the entire operation.

He said the family did not recognise the people who came and took away the girl, but he suspected his wife was behind the incident because a legal battle over the child’s custody is already going on between them.

“We have a case ongoing over the child’s custody. Nonetheless, she took the law into her hands and did this,” the father alleged, as quoted by India Today.

He further claimed that his mother-in-law and another person identified as Sandeep Kumar were also involved in the kidnapping.

The father demanded a proper police investigation and urged authorities to safely recover his daughter as soon as possible.
