“That woman was present with us till Monday night. After 1 a.m. on Tuesday she was not seen in the hospital and my baby was also not present in the ward. When we complained to the hospital administration, that woman was caught on cameras wearing a shawl,” Ali said.
A case in this regard was filed in the GMCH police outpost and the district police are making efforts to trace the woman.
