Kidnapped: Newborn snatched from hospital
A newborn baby was allegedly abducted by an unidentified woman from the Lady Dufferin Hospital here on Thursday.
According to the child’s father, Muslim Bagh resident Abdul Malik, his wife was admitted to the hospital for an emergency delivery on Wednesday night.
“After [a] major operation she gave birth to a baby. The baby was handed over to a woman, dressed like a nurse, to suckle milk,” he added.
“Our staff is cooperating with police and the family members,” said Ejaz Ahmed, the office superintendent of Lady Dufferin Hospital. He expressed disbelief at incident, maintaining security at the hospital was generally very strict.
Meanwhile, SHO Ahmed Shah confirmed the incident. “We searched the entire hospital, room to room, with the family members and closed the main gates but could not find [the unidentified woman],” he told The Express Tribune.
A case has been registered and investigations are underway.
