GHAZIABAD: The police on Sunday said a case lodged for attempted kidnapping of a six-year-old school girl in Indirapuram was in fact a case of mistaken identity.
Senior officers said the suspect captured by the school's CCTV cameras had gone there to pick up his niece who has the same name as that of the six-year-old he inadvertently tried to pick up. But the teachers did not allow her to go with him.
The police in this connection registered an FIR under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita sections 137(2) (kidnapping) and 62 (attempt to commit offences punishable by imprisonment, including life imprisonment) at Indirapuram police station on December 6.
The complainant, a resident of Nyaya Khand in Indirapuram, said a man on November 29 approached the school and asked the school authorities to hand over the child after taking her name.
He said it was a routine for him and his wife to drop and pick up their two daughters (the eldest eight-year-old is a student of the same school) from school daily.
