In India, the father of a child with kidney problems stole the baby from a blind woman to help his

The incident took place in Bhubaneswar. There, a 19-month-old boy was abducted near the Ram temple but was rescued by the police soon after. The child was found in the suspect's house in Balasore, where he was being kept. The man himself has a child with kidney problems, raising questions about the possible motive behind the crime.

The police are actively investigating the case and are interrogating the suspect to establish the exact reasons for the abduction.

"The child is safe and the motive behind the crime is being ascertained," a senior police officer said.

The boy's mother, Jayanti Mullick, who begs near the temple, said the abduction took place around 3 am when she was sleeping next to her children - a 4-year-old daughter and son. A stranger approached them and offered the children juice.

Mullick, who had poor eyesight, was unable to see the man clearly but believed him when he said he loved children and brought them treats. She soon heard her son crying.

"My daughter didn't explain anything when I asked why my brother was crying. The man didn't react either. I called for help, but at that late hour there was no one around. Thanks to the police for returning my child," the mother said.
