Bhubaneswar: An 11-month-old boy, who was kidnapped from Patia in Bhubaneswar on Tuesday, was rescued from the Mancheswar area of the city on Wednesday morning.
According to reports, four unidentified miscreants snatched the baby from his father’s arms on Tuesday afternoon while the latter was shopping at the Patia Station Bazar and fled from the scene in a car. Locals tried to chase the car but failed.
