The women, whose faces were fully covered, entered the hospital posing as medical staff. They informed the parents that they needed to take the baby for a blood test. However, after taking the child, they fled the hospital premises when no one was watching.

A CCTV camera installed in the hospital caught the two women wandering around the hospital campus, providing crucial evidence in the case. Police said the women misled the parents, claiming they were taking the baby for a routine test before absconding with him.
