A five-month baby boy was abducted by a woman in her late 20s from a Delhi hospital Wednesday afternoon, police said.
"The boy's mother, Soni Sharma, had brought him to ESI Hospital in Moti Nagar area in west Delhi for a medical checkup. Her eight-year-old son, Ashu, was also with her when an unknown woman took away the baby after befriending them," said a police officer.

The woman gave Ashu Rs.10 to buy potato chips and by the time he returned she had escaped with the baby, police said.
