Woman kidnaps infant from govt hospital

A three-day-old infant was kidnapped by a woman from a government-run hospital here, with CCTV cameras capturing the incident.
The incident occurred yesterday afternoon when a burqa- clad woman approached the infant's mother and struck a conversation with her on the pretext of holding the infant, police said.
As the mother got engaged in some personal work, the woman disappeared from the place with the baby. The infant, born on Thursday, had been kept in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and handed over to the mother for feeding when the incident occurred.
As attempts by family members and hospital staff to search for the woman did not yield any positive results, police were alerted.

Police said they have obtained CCTV footage where the woman is seen walking away with the infant.
