A woman’s desperate bid to get a child after suffering two miscarriages landed her in trouble after she stole a newborn boy from a state-run hospital. The woman, identified as Manjula, was arrested on Tuesday night, deputy commissioner of police (central zone) Joel Davis said, adding the baby later died of ill health. Manjula tricked the elderly woman by helping her with the formalities of the treatment, and allegedly stole the baby. A woman from the village of the accused’s husband informed the police that she had seen Manjula coming there with a newborn boy, he said. The offender’s family members buried the baby in an agricultural field the next day and left the village, Davis said.
