RAWALPINDI: Police officials have recovered a newborn baby who had been abducted from Holy Family Hospital four days ago and handed over the infant to his parents.
The officials of the New Town police station recovered the infant boy after four days, who was abducted from the nursery of the Holy Family Hospital and replaced with a baby doll by an unidentified person
The newborn baby was reportedly recovered from Dhoke Saidian, located in the outskirts of Rawalpindi. An abduction case was registered on October 31 at the New Town police station. Police said an accused was also arrested for abducting the child.
A police team led by ASP Binish Fatima continued the investigation and finally traced the baby on Thursday night. The baby was handed over to his parents at a simple ceremony held at the hospital, who were overjoyed to receive their newborn son.
Shahid Mehmood, a resident of Kallar Syed, said his wife gave birth to a baby boy on Saturday and the hospital staff had agreed to discharge his wife at night. He said the newborn baby started vomiting as they were leaving the hospital. The doctors advised them to shift the baby to the hospital’s nursery as he needed medical care.
Mehmood said the infant, who was yet to be given a name, was found missing when his aunt went to the nursery. She immediately informed the hospital staff, who found a doll covered with a blanket lying in the place of the newborn baby.
Praise to Allah for this day!
