According to the police, the abduction was done by the accused Ruksana Begum as she could not have a child with her husband. After unsuccessfully trying to buy a newborn baby with money, she resorted to stealing a child, said the police.
The group of women, including Ruksana’s mother sister and close aids, targeted Naseema, a pregnant woman from Dudigonda village of Sangareddy’s Manoor mandal, who was at the hospital to deliver her fourth child. Her newborn girl child was abducted by the accused woman shortly after she gave birth to the child through a C-section.
