Police rescue child after 100-kilometre chase, report says

Police rescued a child from an alleged kidnapper after a 15-hour operation that included reviewing 170 CCTV recordings and a chase over 100 kilometres, according to NDTV. The investigation was complicated by the fact that the alleged kidnapper, identified as Lalit, did not carry a mobile phone. As a result, law enforcement could not use technical phone-location tracking to find him.

The supplied material does not provide the child’s age, the location of the kidnapping or the circumstances in which the child was taken. It also does not say where the rescue occurred or whether Lalit was arrested. No information is given about the child’s condition, whether anyone else was involved or whether police filed charges.

The report does not identify the investigators or describe how the CCTV footage was used to trace the suspect. The available account establishes the duration of the operation, the number of CCTV recordings examined and the distance covered during the chase. It also identifies the absence of a mobile phone as a major obstacle to the inquiry.

Further details about the rescue and the police investigation were not included in the supplied source material.
