Police fails to trace missing baby despite lapse of 5 days

Tahir Mushtaq

JAMMU, Feb 06: Even after the passage of five days, police have failed to trace the new born baby, which went missing from the maternity ward of Shri Maharaja Gulab Singh (SMGS) Hospital on February 1. The Hospital administration had claimed that it had the CCTV footage but, that has also failed to yield any result.

Shareefa, wife of Mohammad Mushtaq of village Nariyan in Nowshera, gave birth to baby on 31 January and was admitted in ward number four of the hospital. Next morning, at around 3:30 a.m when her husband had gone somewhere away, the
baby went missing.

Meanwhile, the father of missing baby has refused to leave the hospital till the baby is restored to them. The couple also threatened to end their lives in the hospital if the hospital administration failed to trace their baby.

However, the hospital authorities and police have maintained silence over the matter and refused to make any comment on the progress so far.


Ironically, a female baby also went missing on November 10 last year which later recovered from Nai Basti. Similarly second and third such incidents happened on November 14 and December 30 last year respectively.
