Surat couple Durga and Ravi arrested for abandoning their son
India
A couple in Surat, Durga and Ravi, have been arrested after police discovered they abandoned their five-year-old son, then tried to cover it up by filing a fake missing person report.
The boy, Durga's child from her first marriage, was found safe at a children's home in Katargam.
Police got suspicious when their story didn't add up and CCTV footage showed no sign of the child going missing as claimed.
