Woman Arrested for Kidnapping Infant from Delhi's GTB Hospital; Child RescuedPreviousNext

A six-month-old infant was kidnapped from Delhi's GTB Hospital on May 31 by a 45-year-old woman, Kanchan, who posed as a vaccination facilitator to gain the child's mother's trust. Kanchan, previously convicted in a 2007 kidnapping and murder case and absconding after parole, was arrested near Shivaji Park, where the child was safely recovered. Police stated she intended to present the infant as her own after losing her twins. Investigations involved CCTV and mobile data analysis leading to her capture.
