Mangaluru, Nov 30: Three youths have been arrested by Dakshina Kannada district police on charge of kidnapping and trafficking a two-month old baby under the limits of Uppinangadi police station, Tuesday.

babyThe arrested have been identified as Muhammed Udaif (28), from Bengaluru, Siyab (24) from Hirebandady, and Sameer (21). Police said that locals in Perne had complained that three young men were seen with a newborn and had hired a house. They suspected that the baby could have been kidnapped.

Based on their complaint, police went to the house. During questioning, the youngsters said that they had agreed to look after the baby as the father, hailing from Bengaluru, had told them that soon after giving birth, the baby's mother had left for Nepal.

Police are investigating whether their claims are true. "We have asked the parents of the child to come to Puttur for verification. There will be a DNA test conducted to ascertain the real parents," police added. Parents of the child are expected to come on Wednesday evening to Puttur.

The baby is in the care of the Child Welfare Department in Puttur. A case has been registered at Uppinangadi police station.

None should jump to conclusion that baby was kidnapped unless thorough investigation is done. May be the parents sold the baby to others. Let us wait and see.

Bengaluru, May 18: Indian food delivery startup Swiggy said on Monday it would lay off 1,100 employees, or nearly 14% of its workforce, to cut costs, as a weeks-long nationwide lockdown to curb the coronavirus outbreak hits demand for online food ordering.

The company, backed by South African internet giant Naspers, also said it will scale down adjacent businesses and has already shut several of its cloud kitchens - facilities that only cater to takeaway orders - temporarily or permanently.

“The core food delivery business has been severely impacted and will stay impacted over the short term, but is expected to start growing again after that,” said Sriharsha Majety, co-founder and chief executive at Bengaluru-based Swiggy.

Swiggy, one of India’s best known startups, is among many that are laying off employees and reshaping their business in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which has forced 1.3 billion Indians indoors and crippled business.

India is currently under a two-month lockdown, and though several curbs are being eased, public places such as restaurants remain closed, hurting restaurants themselves as well as companies such as Swiggy and main rival Zomato.
