Baby was kidnapped while her mother was caught up in queue to give the blood sample of her elder daughter
New Delhi:
In what could be described as a picture-perfect ending, a six-month-old girl was found hours after she was allegedly kidnapped in a Delhi hospital.
The infant went missing around 8.15 am from Hindu Rao Hospital and was found at a bus stand near Model Town police station around 3.30 pm, a senior police officer said.
A woman came to the police station and told the cops that she saw the girl crying at the bus stand and handed over the infant to them, said a senior police officer.
The baby was kidnapped while her mother was caught up in the queue to give the blood sample of her elder daughter in in North Delhi.
"Atifa's mother had gone to the hospital for the blood test of her elder daughter. Since Atifa was crying, the lab assistant suggested her mother to hand over the kid to the lady who was in front of her. Within a few minutes of giving her child to the lady, she found that her daughter and the lady were missing," Esha Pandey, additional DCP-I(North) said.
In her complaint, Atifa's mother had said that the hospital didn't take quick action when she raised a hue and cry about her missing daughter and only made a PCR call at 8.59 am, the officer said.
