Horrifying moment boy is kidnapped outside his own home in India
This is the moment a young boy is kidnapped in front of his mother on their own doorstep in India. CCTV footage shows the boy standing outside the gate of his home with his mother and sibling when two men on a moped drive up. After distracting the boy’s mother by asking her a favour, one of the men is able to grab hold of the boy, and drive away with him.
The incident took place in Morbi, Gujarat state, when the mother, reportedly the wife of a wealthy businessman, was sending her two children to school. The surveillance camera footage shows her seemingly waiting for a school bus with her daughter in her arms and her son standing next to them.
The two children’s school backpacks can be seen on the ground by the gate of the house. Two men drive up on a moped, and one of them jumps off and asks the mother to call her brother-in-law. When she puts her daughter down and goes to oblige, the man grabs hold of the boy and jumps onto the back of the moped.

The footage shows the helpless mother run after the moped. One of the suspected kidnappers, Sunny Devnani, was tied to an iron pole and thrashed by villagers after the young boy was recognised 20 miles from his home, according to reports.
Devnani was later handed over to police.
The kidnappers were snared after video of the abduction and a picture of Dev were shared on WhatsApp, and shopkeeper Mukesh Hadiyal recognised him from the video. He helped capture Devnani, with the help of fellow villagers, and the child was returned to his parents.
