False Infant Abduction Claim in Kalyan; Baby Found Safe in Varanasi
A 21-year-old woman, Roshni Suraj Shahu, falsely claimed her six-month-old infant was abducted while she slept near Kalyan railway station. Police investigations, including CCTV footage and call record analysis, revealed the baby was never in Kalyan and was safe with her maternal grandparents in Varanasi. Authorities say she fabricated the story amid personal issues, including a dispute with her husband and intentions to remarry. The police continue to verify the motive behind the false complaint.
