After analysing numerous CCTV camera footage and call details of suspects, the woman who is accused of abducting the child was apprehended from Krishan Vihar in Delhi. On sustained interrogation, she told the police that she had taken the child from the complainant for INR 1,50,000 and sold the child to another woman for INR 2,10,000.  

Subsequently, the police caught the woman who bought the child from her residence in Delhi.

In the interrogation, she told the police that she sold the child to a couple living in the Mathura district of Uttar Pradesh for INR 3,30,000. 

A police team was dispatched to Mathura. They rescued the child and arrested the couple. The police also arrested another woman who acted as a mediator between the couple and the other women accused in the case.
