Udupi police recovered the lifeless body of the infant stuck to a low-lying branch over the Kubja river.
A day after an intensive search operation was started for a kidnapped 15-month old girl, Udupi police recovered the lifeless body of the infant stuck to a low-lying branch over the Kubja river on Friday. According to the police, the body was first noticed by few locals who informed the authorities. The suspect is still at large. Baby Sanvika Naik was abducted by an unidentified suspect in the early hours of Thursday from her home at Kumtiberu at Yadamogge village in Kundapur. In her statement to the police, Rekha, mother of Sanvika said that at around 4 am on July 11, an unidentified suspect had gained entry into her home. “I woke up hearing the footsteps and noticed that he had already taken Sanvika who was sleeping next to me and my 5-year-old son Sathvik. I begged the masked man to give my child back, but he ran away through the back-door,” she said. Rekha added that along with her son, she chased the kidnapper; however he jumped into the Kubja river with Sanvika and started wading through the stream. “I tried to cross the river myself but the strong currents stopped my movement. Meanwhile the villagers who had gathered pulled me and my son out of the river,” Rekha said. Rekha’s husband Santhosh, who worked as a night-watchman at Hosangadi at Kundapur during the time of the incident (about 5 km from Yedamogge), said he came to know of the incident only from his wife when he returned home. “I do not have enmity with anyone, I don’t know why someone would take my child,” he said. Following the complaint by Rekha, a First Information Report (FIR) was lodged at Shankarnarayana police station under section Indian Penal Code (IPC) 448 (trespassing), IPC 363 (kidnapping). The Udupi Superintendent of Police Nisha James, who was apprised of the case on Thursday morning, personally oversaw the case and had constituted a special team under the leadership of Kundapur DySP Dinesh Kumar to probe the whereabouts of the abducted child. Besides pressing dog squads into service, Udupi police had carried out a wide campaign and issued control room numbers to the public to report any information on the abducted child. Speaking to the media on Friday afternoon, a police official said that the body of Sanvika was found a kilometre down the stream stuck to a low-lying tree branch over the Kubja river from where she was kidnapped. Meanwhile, the officials admitted that a suspect has not been identified yet. The probe is underway to identify the miscreant, who now carries the charge of the murder of an innocent child on his head. Content provider https://ift.tt/2DX7vnh and Scribes Media Ventures.)
