A police team was sent to Kanpur.
Subsequently SSP Baramulla got in touch with senior Police Officers in Kanpur and shared all the relevant information including telephone number of the kidnapper with the Kanpur Police.
The police party, after reaching Kanpur, managed to recover the kidnapped child Adnan on June 26 with the help of Kanpur Police and also arrested the kidnapper Ajay Paul.
Leads provided by the Jammu and Kashmir police revealed that Ajay actually belonged to a gang of kidnappers, other members of which have also been reportedly arrested by Kanpur Police along with some arms and ammunition.
The police team from Sopore was on its way back to Bulgam Sopore to hand over the child to his parents, stated a press release. (ANI)
