Based on her complaint, the police on Friday registered a case against her husband under Indian Penal Code sections 420 (cheating) and 498A (husband or relative of husband of a woman subjecting her to cruelty), the official said.

A probe was on into the case, he added.

Meanwhile, in an another case, the search for a missing 3-year-old boy conducted between Bhiwandi to Ambarnath for 48 hours came to an end with a canine from the Thane rural police dog squad tracing his body to the water tank of the building where he lived.

According to the police, Vidhansh Gopal Chavan was a resident of a municipal building behind Kotergate mosque in Bhiwandi. Vidhansh ‘s father is a sanitation worker with Bhiwandi Nizampur City Municipal Corporation. His mother Mamta who approached the Bhiwandi city police on January 26 said her son left home and didn't return. "They searched for him for two hours and then approached the police. She claimed that the boy went out to play and get a chocolate from a shop. The boy being a minor, we registered a kidnapping case and started searching for the boy," said a police officer.

Navnath Dhavale, deputy commissioner of police, Bhiwandi, formed more than five teams of detection officers from different police stations in Bhiwandi. "The officers activated their local contacts and scanned almost all the CCTV footage of the vicinity and outskirts. They found footage of a minor boy with two men and a woman walking at Kalyan railway station. We showed it to the parents and they said it seemed to be their child. We followed the CCTV footage to trace a couple in Ambarnath. Later it was established that it was not their son," said a police officer from Bhiwandi.
