The incident took place on Saturday and the police allege that the childless accused fancied having a baby boy, so she hatched a plan to kidnap one.
The accused has been identified as Shabana Khatoon Khan and was nabbed red-handed by the infant's mother with the help of the hospital staff. According to police officials, at around 7 am on Saturday, Shakuntala Kanojia, who is resident of Ramabai Nagar in Ghatkopar, had got her son to Rajawadi hospital for a routine health check up. &ldquo;At the time that Kanojia was standing in a queue at the hospital, the baby pooped in his pants. While she was trying to clean the mess, the accused approached her on the pretext of helping her,&rdquo; said an officer.
When Kanojia went to the bathroom to tidy up, leaving her baby with Khan, the accused fled from the spot. &ldquo;Khan went out of the hospital and escaped in an auto-rickshaw. Kanojia followed&nbsp;her along with hospital staff and nabbed her at a signal near Somaiya College,&rdquo; said the officer.
Khan has been booked under Section 363 (kidnapping) and remanded to police custody.
It's routine &gt;&gt; In 2013, a woman kidnapped two-month-old Salman Shaikh from his mother's arms as she slept on Dadar Railway Station. The incident was captured on CCTV but the child could not be traced. &gt;&gt; In April 2015, 39-year-old Kalpana Parmar kidnapped a baby from her sleeping parents at CST station. She couldn't have a child of her own and was desperate for a baby. She was later arrested. &gt;&gt; In September 2015, the RPF arrested a 45-year-old woman with learning disabilities for kidnapping a four-month-old baby from Haji Ali subway.
