<p>In a distressing incident in Thane, <strong><a href="https://www.mid-day.com/mumbai/mumbai-news/article/inquiry-will-be-done-action-taken-maharashtra-minister-uday-samant-on-elephanta-boat-tragedy-23449731" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Maharashtra</a></strong>, a four-year-old boy was allegedly kidnapped by an unidentified person on Sunday evening.
