Infant Kidnapped by Bike-Borne Duo in Ludhiana; Police InvestigatePreviousNext

In Ludhiana's New Chandar Nagar, two bike-borne individuals posing as relatives kidnapped a four-month-old infant named Aryan from his 11- to 12-year-old cousin while she was buying snacks. The suspects, described as a man and a woman aged 26 to 30, fled after snatching the child. Police have registered an FIR, formed multiple teams, and are reviewing CCTV footage to trace the kidnappers. The infant's father, a labourer originally from Ayodhya, reported the incident and the family had planned to travel to Uttar Pradesh.
