Video: Women In Burqas Allegedly Stopped At Mumbai’s Cooper Hospital, Told ‘Babies Get Stolen’; Sparks Controversy

Two women wearing burqas were reportedly denied entry to Mumbai's Cooper Hospital, allegedly because hospital authorities feared that babies could be stolen by women in burqas. The incident, captured on video, shows a female security guard stopping the women at the hospital entrance and questioning why they were not allowed inside.

Jahanara mentioned an incident at Wadia Hospital where babies were stolen by someone wearing a saree.
