LOVE FOR BOY

Already under a crippling affliction after the loss of their son, who fell from the terrace of their house, the alleged couple Sanjay Gupta (41) and Anita Gupta (36), were on a motorcycle near Chhatta Rail Chowk when they saw an infant lying next to his mother who was sleeping on the roadside.

The victim infant’s mother, who was differently-abled from both hands and legs and his father, who was a rag picker, were both sleeping when the couple stole the child.
