The child went missing while he was playing near his mother, who had gone to the hospital to collect medicines, police said.
On August 27, a three-year-old boy was kidnapped from a government hospital in west Delhi, India, according to police. The toddler went missing while playing near his mother, who had gone to the hospital to collect medicines. A case was registered at Khyala police station following a call received around noon. CCTV footage from the hospital and surrounding areas showed Chunari Devi, a 31-year-old woman from Bihar's Banka district, carrying the child away.
Police tracked her movements through multiple CCTV cameras as she traveled towards Madipur village in an e-rickshaw. Local inquiries revealed Devi had left Delhi and traveled to her native state. During questioning, she allegedly admitted to kidnapping the boy with the intention of raising him as her own son, citing medical complications that prevented her from having another child. The child was safely recovered in Munger district, Bihar, and reunited with his family in Delhi.
