In Chandauli, Uttar Pradesh, the railway police exposed a child theft gang that operated in crowded areas such as railway stations and bus stands. This gang would snatch children when the opportunity arose and then sell them at high prices in Bihar. The emergence of this gang became evident after the mother of a missing child reported the incident to the authorities. She and her children were sleeping outside the Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyay Junction when her son was taken in the early morning hours.

Following the mother's complaint, the Government Railway Police (GRP) and Railway Protection Force (RPF) swiftly acted to locate the child. Their efforts paid off when they successfully apprehended four gang members—three men and one woman—who were found in possession of the stolen two-year-old boy. Additionally, the authorities seized new children's clothing, a milk bottle, and sleeping pills from the gang, highlighting the sinister nature of their operations to prepare and disguise the abducted children.

This incident sheds light on the ongoing issue of child trafficking in India, raising awareness about the vulnerabilities children face in transit zones like railway stations. As law enforcement ramps up efforts to tackle child abduction cases, parents are being urged to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities. The successful bust of this gang is a significant step in ensuring the safety of children and may serve as a deterrent to other would-be offenders in the region.
