Infant Allegedly Abducted Near Pharmacy at Delhi's GTB Hospital; Police InvestigatePreviousNext

A one-and-a-half-month-old infant was reportedly abducted near the pharmacy of Delhi's Guru Teg Bahadur Hospital after his mother briefly left him with a woman wearing a black burqa. The mother had brought the child for a medical consultation and was waiting to collect medicines when the incident occurred. Police have registered an FIR and are investigating. Hospital officials confirmed no admission records for the child and pledged cooperation. This follows a similar kidnapping case at the hospital earlier this year.
