“The child’s mother filed a kidnapping case at Nagpada police station on Tuesday. Six teams were formed to nab Ghosh as we realised he would try to flee the city with the child,” the official said.
Technical surveillance revealed Ghosh was near Igatpuri in Nashik and police assumed he was on some train on its way to Kolkata, the official added.
“We asked the GRP to check Amritsar Express and Howrah Express but they could not find Ghosh or the child. We found the accused’s location, near Bodhwad in Buldhana, and that of the Shalimar Express that leaves from Kurla LTT here were matching,” he said.
A GRP team boarded Shalimar Express and nabbed Ghosh when the train was near Shegaon, and he has been brought to Mumbai in connection with the kidnapping case registered at Nagpada police station, the official informed.
The girl has been united with her mother, the police official added.
