A newborn baby was on Wednesday stolen from the government hospital in Nadiad (Kheda district) of Gujarat, police said.
Rukaiyaben Shabai, the complainant, delivered a baby boy at the
Nadiad Civil Hospital around 2 pm on Tuesday. Soon after, a woman
approached her while her family members were present around.
She said she was a volunteer working for the hospital and offered to take the baby for immunisation, police said.
When she took the baby away, Shabai’s
sister followed the woman, who, however, returned the baby saying she
will do it later as the room where immunisation was to be done was
closed.
Later, when Shabai’s husband had gone
home and her sister was out of the hospital, the woman came again and
took the baby and disappeared, police said.
Police said the CCTV footage shows the woman and their efforts to trace her were going on.
