A beacon of hope in Delhi’s fight against child abductions, the Crime Branch’s AHTU has rescued two minors and restored them to their families. The operations, spanning Mukherjee Nagar and Wazirabad, showcase precision policing at its finest.
The Mukherjee Nagar saga unfolded with a 12-year-old’s disappearance on September 6, 2025— a boy battling mental fragility. FIR in place, the case landed with AHTU. ACP Suresh Kumar supervised Inspector Mukesh Kumar and ASI Ajay Kumar Jha’s relentless pursuit: CCTV hunts, community canvassing, tech dissections, online awareness drives, and intimate family probes.
Unraveled facts: Residing in Nirankari Colony on rent, he moonlighted as cleaner and guard. Play turned perilous; he strayed to Anand Vihar Terminal. Police nabbed him safely, closing the loop.
Wazirabad’s parallel drama saw a 15-year-old bolt on January 22, 2026, FIR following suit. Team Mukesh Kumar, ASI Mahesh, Head Constable Naresh Kumar mirrored the intensity under ACP oversight. Ground intel, surveillance mastery, family deep-dives led to ASI Mahesh’s game-changing tip-off. February 4 brought liberation from Azadpur Mandi.
Root cause: Family discord drove him to auntie’s. Both boys, now with local custody, symbolize victory. Parents’ effusive gratitude spotlights Delhi Police’s child-centric vigilance, reducing crime shadows and inspiring public confidence.
