over the keys of our shop to the accused. My son Gollu was playing in the courtyard. He lifted Gollu, questioning him as to whether he would accompany him. At that time, Gollu was aged about 15 months. Gollu used to go at our shop alongwith his father, his grandfather and the accused also. On 3.1.98, accused had taken my son alongwith him. Our shop is located outside the house, in the same premises. When Gollu had not returned for about half an hour I went to our shop alongwith tea for the accused. Accused was not present at the shop. I searched for accused and Gollu, while standing at the shop for sometime. When accused has not returned nor Gollu was available, I telephoned my husband at his office. Within 20 minutes my husband reached home. I was standing outside the shop, waiting for the accused and my son. I immediately heard the telephone call and lifted the receiver. Accused Mahender was there on the other side. He told me that Gollu was with him. He also informed that he was at Geeta Nursing Home, since Gollu had received injuries. He further informed that in case he is not available at Geeta Nursing Home, then he may be searched at GTB Hospital, Shahdara. My husband and our neighbours had gone to Geeta Nursing Home.
