The complaint, filed by the baby’s father Punam Devpujak, a resident of Borsad in Anand, states that Sangita had delivered the baby at the government referral hospital in Jarod on October 15.

“At around 2 am on Wednesday, Sangita woke up and saw that the child was missing. Her mother was also sleeping close by but they did not hear any sound,” said a police officer of Waghodia police station said.

“The family does not suspect anyone in the case. They tried to find the child for a day and finally decided to approach the police. We have launched a hunt in the area. Since it is a small village, there are no CCTV cameras around. The possibility of an animal having taken away the child cannot be ruled out as huts in the village are surrounded by a thicket,” the officer added.
