#Mathura: किडनैपर ने माँ के साथ सो रहे 7 महीने के बच्चे को उठाया और हवा होगया। @mathurapolice ने केस अब crack कर लिया और बच्चे को सकुशल बरामद कर लिया है। चौंकाने वाली बाद यह है की जिसने बच्चा खरीदा वो एक बीजेपी नेता है और फ़िरोज़ाबाद से पार्षद है। #GoodWork_MathuraPolice pic.twitter.com/wGSYueUyc0

The police recovered the baby from a BJP corporator's house in Firozabad, around 100 kilometres from Mathura, where it was stolen.

The Mathura police has also arrested two doctors who were involved in multi-layered child trafficking. The two doctors were running a small-scale hospital in the neighbouring Hathras district.

BJP leader Vinita Agarwal, from whom the child was recovered, admitted to police that she and her husband wanted a boy, and for the same, they had bought the child from the doctors for a sum of Rs 1.8 lakh. The couple already has a daughter.  

In a press conference, senior officials of Mathura police handed over the child to his mother. The parents were seen thanking the police for their efforts.
