FAISALABAD: The newborn girl, who was kidnapped from Allied Hospital in the city in January, has been rescued, while the person involved in the crime has also been arrested, the police said.
According to the police, the arrested woman kidnapped the newborn girl on January 27 from Allied Hospital. The accused was identified in a footage obtained from the closed-circuit camera television footage obtained from the medical facility showing her carrying the baby outside the hospital.
