Duo arrested for stealing newborn in Agartala

Agartala, Apr 20 : The Agartala city police have detained two women who allegedly attempted to steal a newborn from Agartala Government Medical College and Hospital last night, police said today.

According to a report, the accused were identified as Beauty Biswas, a resident of Nagicherra, southern Agartala and her mother-in-law Manika Biswas.

The duo had taken the baby revealing fake identity cards.

Police recovered the baby from an auto stand away form the Hospital.

Initial investigation revealed that Beauty had been suffering from rare Pseudo Pregnancy Syndrome and in such case the patient believes that she is pregnant, Hospital Superintendent Dr Chinmoy Biswas said.

One Bulti Sarkar of South Charilam in West Tripura had given birth to a son on Saturday and the baby was kept in neo-natal care unit due to some complications.

The nurse, in charge of the unit, had asked Bulti Sarkar to come to the unit from the Gyaneacology department to feed the baby milk.

By that time Beauty appeared claiming to be Bulti and took the baby on her lap. She even faked to breast-feed the baby and left the area with the new born.
