New Delhi: A 12-day-old baby boy was "taken away" from Babu Jagjivan Ram Hospital in northwest Delhi on Friday and was brought back by a couple within six hours after police teams started searching for the missing infant.
For Kartik's parents, nothing could match the joy of seeing their son again after he was "taken away" from the hospital where he was born.
The child was taken away by a woman when Kartik's mother went to the washroom around 5.52 am, the infant's father Sunil Upadhyay alleged.
The couple that had taken the child away brought him back to the hospital around 11.30 am after they got to know that police was investigating the matter, police said.
Police said the couple who had taken the child has three daughters. They have twin daughters and the woman had recently given birth to another girl child. They wanted a son, which is why they might have kidnapped the infant, police said.
The child was born on October 22 at the hospital. Since he developed some infection, he was kept at the hospital.
"The security guard didn't allow any local guardian apart from the mother to stay with the child," he said.
Meanwhile, the hospital authorities said that they were quite prompt in informing the police about the incident.
