In a shocking incident, an unidentified woman kidnapped a five-day old infant on Tuesday, from a hospital in Telangana.

The incident happened at the Chalmeda Hospital in Karimnagar, and was caught on camera. 

CCTV footage which surfaced, shows the woman walking away with the baby in the corridors undetected. 

According to the Deccan Chronicle, V Ramya, was admitted to the hospital on Friday, where she delivered a baby boy. Ramya and her relatives were asleep on Monday night, when the woman is expected to have walked out with the baby. 

The time on the CCTV camera suggests that it happened around 4am. The footage also shows the woman being joined by another man in the corridor.

The duo then push a scooter once they’re outside and make their escape on foot.

"The woman suspect who was seen on CCTV was assisted by a male between 35 to 40 years of age and they used a black colour Honda Activa scooter to flee from the hospital,”  Karimnagar police commissioner Kamalasan Reddy was quoted as saying.

TNIE reported that the woman suspect put the baby in a bag to carry it past the hospital’s security.

The report also adds that the man told the security that his vehicle needed repair, when he was asked why he was pushing it.
