This is the second incident reported from the hospital in the past six months. “We have inquired and found that neither the mother nor the child was admitted to the hospital; they mostly likely were outpatients. She reportedly asked the woman to hold her child for when she went to get water, but found them both missing upon her return.
A 25-year-oldwoman visiting the Guru Teg Bahadur (GTB) Hospital on Thursday morning to get her one-month-old infant examined by a doctor alleged her child was kidnapped by a woman seated near the pharmacy around noon, when she went to drink water, according to an FIR filed by the police. In June, police registered a kidnapping case following a complaint by Mohd Shewaaz, 23, who alleged that his son had gone missing from the hospital premises. In her complaint to the police, the woman, Saloni, a resident of Nand Nagri, said that after consulting with a doctor, she was waiting near the pharmacy to collect medicines around 12.30pm when the alleged perpetrator, wearing a veil, started a conversation with her.
Hospital staff said they are looking into the matter and clarified that CCTV footage was not available for the area where the alleged incident took place. We will cooperate with the police and provide all possible help,” a hospital official, asking not to be named, said.
