Newborn girl goes missing from private hospital in Bengaluru
BENGALURU: A newborn girl was allegedly kidnapped from a private hospital in Jayanagar area on Friday afternoon. The parents of the child are Thyagaraj and Sahanashri. On January 29, Sahanashri gave birth to twins (one male and one female). The female baby was kept under observation in ICU as she was suffering from jaundice. She had to be fed once every two hours.
