Five-year-old Karnit Shah, who went missing while playing near the apartment building in which his family lives in Mumbai's suburb Kandivli on April 6, has been found in Uttar Pradesh. Three men, who allegedly kidnapped him, have been arrested.

Among those arrested is the main accused, Sameer Khan, whose sketch had been released by the police. The men had demanded ransom from the Shah family, police said.

A Mumbai police team is in UP to get little Karnit, who has been away for almost 15 days now, back home. The boy's relieved father, Anand Shah, told NDTV, "The police called to say he is safe and sound."

Karnit's family pulled out all stops to trace the little boy. They turned to facebook, uploading photos of his son along with his phone number, hoping a stranger somewhere would respond with information that could help him locate Karnit. Online communities sprang up as the appeal went viral. Thousands of people forwarded Karnit's photos.
