Ahmedabad police arrested 21-year-old Jinal Govind Parmar and three others, including two juveniles, for kidnapping a 37-day-old infant from a footpath in New Ranip. Parmar was allegedly hired by an associate in Uttar Pradesh to arrange the infant for a man named Bhanu Jatav, who was also arrested. The baby was safely recovered after being abandoned by Parmar, who panicked due to police surveillance. The case is under investigation with charges filed at Sabarmati police station.
