The footage is being used as evidence in the case. **This event highlights the seriousness of theft and the vulnerability of vulnerable populations, particularly newborns. It also underscores the need for increased security measures and awareness among healthcare professionals.

Dr Pramod Kumar Singh, the Civil Surgeon of Begusarai, acknowledged the gravity of the situation, and said, “A lot of people enter the premises, which makes it hard to identify and distinguish the child’s mother from other relatives.” No hospital staff could provide clarity on how the baby went missing. The family is demanding the immediate return of their child, expressing their anguish and frustration over the apparent security lapse at the hospital. An investigation is underway, doctors at the hospital said.
