In a shocking incident in the national capital, a woman allegedly kidnapped a newborn baby from a hospital in Rohini in an attempt to prove her second marriage to her lover. Swift action by Delhi Police led to the rescue of the infant within hours and the arrest of two accused.
The incident occurred at Dr Baba Saheb Ambedkar Hospital, where a woman had recently given birth and was recovering in the maternity ward. According to police, the accused woman had been visiting the ward for a few days and had developed a friendly rapport with the newborn’s mother. She allegedly gained the family’s trust by offering assistance in caring for the baby.
On the morning of the incident, the accused reportedly took the newborn in her arms under the pretext of helping the exhausted mother rest. When the family later realised that both the woman and the baby were missing, hospital authorities and police were immediately informed. A kidnapping case was registered, and multiple teams were deployed to trace the suspect.
Investigators examined CCTV footage from the hospital and nearby areas and used technical surveillance to track the accused. The newborn was eventually located and rescued safely from an area near the Delhi-Meerut Expressway. Police arrested the main accused along with her associate and reunited the infant with the parents.
Preliminary investigations revealed that the woman allegedly kidnapped the baby to convince her lover that she had given birth, in order to validate her second marriage. Authorities are now probing the case further to determine whether the act was pre-planned or if more individuals were involved.
Police confirmed that the baby is safe and further investigation is ongoing.
