In a heart-wrenching incident, a newborn baby who was kidnapped from the Mardan Medical Complex Hospital has been successfully rescued by the police, leading to the apprehension of two suspects, including a woman.
The incident came to light when Fazal Rehman, son of Fazal Mehmood and resident of Gul Bagh Mardan, filed a report at the Sheikh Multoon Police Station. According to the report, his wife, Shakeela, had been admitted to the Gynecology Ward of Mardan Medical Complex Hospital. After a normal delivery, their newborn child was handed over to the mother-in-law, Nooha Bibi, due to Shakeela's high blood pressure condition.
The situation took a horrifying turn when an unidentified woman approached Nooha Bibi, instructing her to leave the baby with her and attend to Shakeela. Trusting the stranger, Nooha Bibi handed over the baby. However, upon her return, both the woman and the child had vanished. A frantic search throughout the hospital premises yielded no results, revealing that the newborn had been kidnapped by the unknown woman.
