"Two ladies have been arrested. We have arrested Lakshmi who belongs to Mohan Garden, Uttam Nagar in whose custody the mother had left her youngest child. As per her (mother's) statement it was on Lakshmi's advice that she left all her three children behind, of which one girl child was left in Muzaffarnagar, while the boy was handed over to a man named 'Guddu' for safe keeping," added Sharma.
Sharma added that the mother had been guaranteed that her three children would remain under Lakshmi's custody.
"Basically, may be they wanted to not to keep the child with them and make the woman go away from them. If she would not have been separated from the children then she might not have agreed to get married. She was not informed about the infant and she was told that these people are keeping the infant. Even in her statement she's saying that Lakshmi guaranteed her that do not worry, your children are going to be with me," she stated.
The heart-wrenching story of violence and abuse against Falak has sent shockwaves across the country, highlighting concerns over child welfare.
Various non-governmental organisations and childcare units have come forward to take care of the infant.
