Mumbai/Surat:
In a touching gesture, a woman gave away her son, kidnapped two
years ago, to another lady who had bought him as the latter
developed a 'motherly' bond with the boy.
The decision will leave Jignesh, now four years old, with two
mothers - his biological one Shital Rajput and the adoptive one
Aarti Tanavade, who lives in Jogeshwari suburb of north-west
Mumbai.
Despite the two-year-long sorrow of the loss, followed by the joy
of finding the boy, Rajput was overwhelmed by the circumstances
confronting Tanavade, who cared for him as her own son.
"I am a woman and a mother. I can understand Aarti's pain as she
has undergone so much trauma in her own life... I am sure she will
take good care of Jignesh," a magnanimous Rajput told mediapersons
Wednesday.
Working as a tiffin supplier, Tanavade, wife of a textile company
employee, was widowed in 1996 and later lost her only son to an
illness.
"I will give him the best of education and care. Now, Jignesh has
two mothers and we shall both give him love and care," she
promised with tears in her eyes.
On Jan 26, 2011 Jignesh was reported missing from his home in
Madhirpura, Surat, throwing the Rajput family into a well of
gloom.
A few days ago, a woman, Rekha Solanki was noticed moving around
the locality suspiciously. The locals alerted the police, who
nabbed her.
After interrogation, police learnt that she was planning to kidnap
a child from there and even spilled the beans on Jignesh, whom she
had kidnapped and sold to Tanavade in Mumbai two years ago.
A police team rushed to Jogeshwari and rescued the kidnapped boy -
exactly two years later on Jan 26, 2013. The Surat Police then
landed at Rajput's home, accompanied by Jignesh and Tanavade, for
a tearful reunion.
Solanki has been arrested for kidnapping and other charges. "We
are interrogating Tanavade for her role in the case," said
Madhipura police inspector K.C. Rajput.
The two women have initiated legal procedures for a smooth
adoption of the boy. Tanavade has allowed Rajput to come and visit
her son any time she wished.
Both 'mothers' together hugged the boy to pose for photographers
and television crews at the unexpected happy, almost a fairy tale
ending for the two women.
