Ikramulla allegedly dumped the child on his way out of town April 7 as the child's mother filed a missing persons report for both of them.

The arrest warrant and an order of protection were issued two days later after Ikramulla was in custody.

The child is staying with relatives although the mother is not considered a suspect.

Ikramulla returns to court on May 5. He faces a charge of aggravated kidnapping.
