A day-old boy was stolen from the general ward of Wadia Hospital on Wednesday. According to police, the baby's mother Jasmine Naik found him missing when she went to see him at 5.30 pm. She lodged a complaint at Bhoiwada Police Station.
An unidentified woman wearing an orange sari with a black scarf on her head entered the ward and escaped with the infant during the visiting hours, said the Bhoiwada police. 'The woman was found rushing out of the ward by an eyewitness' said senior inspector Vikram Patil.
'The woman took my baby in front of everybody. No one realized that something was amiss,' said Jasmin. This is Jasmin's first child.
'The accused chose the visiting hours as at this time, the security guards do not check those who enter. The hospital does not have a CCTV,' a police officer said.
'This happened suddenly and we are probing the case,' said the hospital's medical director, Dr M J Jussawala.
