Sonepur: A newborn baby was stolen allegedly by an unidentified woman from the Sonepur District Headquarters Hospital (DHH) on Saturday morning.
As per reports, Santoshini Tandi of Sandha village under Birmaharajpur Police limits of the district gave birth to a baby girl. However, due to the unavailability of a bed at the DHH, she and her child had to lie on the verandah for post-delivery treatment.
On Saturday morning, Santoshini had gone to the toilet after handing the baby to her mother-in-law. Meanwhile, an unidentified woman approached and took the newborn from Santoshini’s mother-in-law on the pretext of holding the baby for sometimes.
The woman suddenly disappeared from the spot with the baby girl. After a frantic search, the unidentified woman remained untraceable. Following this, Santoshini’s family informed the DHH authorities, who later lodged an FIR at the Sonepur Police Station in connection with the case.
