A drunk man was beaten up by a group of people for allegedly kidnapping a one-year-old girl from outer Delhi's Mangolpuri area, a police officer said today.
The accused, identified as Yashpal, saw the girl standing near the gate of her house, and took her away. However, the girl's grandmother saw him and managed to catch hold of him. She raised an alarm and locals gathered there, he said.
The accused was later handed over to the police, the officer said. The incident was also captured on a nearby CCTV camera in which the accused can be seen taking the girl with him.
Yashpal was sent to judicial custody, the officer said, adding that a case was registered against him.
He said the accused has been giving conflicting statements to the police.
