We took them to the bushes behind the ISWP company in Telco and got them to search the area.  We did even clearedthe bushes and pressed a sniffer dog that we had taken from the RPF, but the severed head could not be traced,” said Mustafa.

According to sources in the railway police, one of the accused, Kailash  said that he along with his friend Rinku abducted the child from her mother’s lap at the Tatanagar station platform on July 25 night.
