  "account": "In a bizarre incident in India, a mother of six daughters abducted a three-year-old boy from a Delhi hospital and attempted to raise him as her own son. The woman, identified as Devi, orchestrated the abduction while her daughters played nearby at the Khayala area government hospital. The child vanished while his mother was absent, collecting medication. Police became aware of the missing child and began a comprehensive investigation. Surveillance footage revealed an unidentified woman carrying the child out of the hospital, leading to a 1,000 kilometer chase. Devi confessed to the abduction, revealing her deep desire for a son as she could not have one due to medical issues. She admitted to the crime to fulfill her wish. The police eventually traced her and returned the child to his biological family in Delhi.",
