This one hit close to home. As someone who keeps a close eye on local news, I’ve read my fair share of disturbing headlines, but this one gave me actual chills. A 7-month-old baby, abducted from a bustling Pune railway station — and thankfully, rescued just in time by our very own RPF heroes.
Here’s what went down, and why it matters more than we think.

😨 The Shocking Incident
Imagine this: a mother is waiting at the railway station, like thousands of us do daily. She glances away for just a moment — and in that blink, her baby vanishes.
I can’t even begin to imagine the panic, the horror. That was the reality for one family in Pune. Their 7-month-old baby was suddenly nowhere to be seen.
But what happened next shows why we still have hope.
🚨 How the RPF Stepped In
The Railway Protection Force (RPF) didn’t waste a single second. Once the alert was raised, they immediately scanned through CCTV footage, tracked every movement, and identified a woman leaving the station with a baby.
That woman is now in custody. But more importantly — the baby is safe.
Within just a few hours, this terrifying situation had a happy ending. And all credit goes to the alertness, coordination, and speed of the Pune RPF.
🙌 Real Heroes in Uniform
In a time when headlines often highlight failures in the system, this incident reminded me that there are people out there who take their duty seriously.
The RPF team didn’t just solve a case — they gave a child back to its mother, and that’s priceless.
I’ve always said local heroes don’t wear capes — they wear uniforms, and they walk among us.
⚠️ A Wake-Up Call for All of Us
Let’s be real — stations are chaotic. We’re juggling luggage, phones, snacks, sometimes even multiple kids. But this is a reminder that it only takes seconds for things to go terribly wrong.
If you’re a parent or guardian:
- Keep your child within arm’s reach at all times
- Don’t hesitate to ask for help or raise an alarm
- Save the local RPF helpline number in your phone (seriously!)
Let’s stay a little more aware. Not paranoid — just prepared.
💬 My Final Word
Writing this made me emotional — not just because of the story, but because it reminded me of how unpredictable life can be. One minute everything’s normal, the next minute it could change forever.
I salute the Pune RPF — for being sharp, human, and dependable. And to all parents out there: hug your little ones tighter and never assume “it won’t happen to me.”
