Speaking to the media after he personally handed over the boy to his parents, SP Nayeem Asmi said that boy was found by a person working at a brick kiln in Kutukuluru village at Anaparthi mandal in the morning hours on Thursday.

He said that there was a possibility of the kidnappers releasing the child because of mounting pressure on them as the police search teams deployed across the three districts of East Godavari, Srikakulam and Kakinada were searching for the boy. Apart from that with kidnap news reported in all news channels which also went viral on social media, would have frightened the kidnappers and they would have released the boy, the SP said.
