Islamabad: A baby who was born with a twin was stolen by a paramedic from a hospital in Pakistan. The nurse has been arrested after allegedly stealing a baby to give to her childless aunt.
The family was initially unaware of her disappearance as no-one knew she was born with a twin. The first they knew was when the girl’s mother regained consciousness and asked about the other baby, her brother-in-law told the BBC.
Abdul Hamid had taken the mother-to-be, Jamila Bibi, to the hospital in Loralai, about 60km away from their village, on Wednesday, police said.
He told police that after delivery, Jamila Bibi’s family was handed one little girl and told to take the patient home as she was doing fine.
However, Jamila Bibi remained in a semi-conscious state for the next couple of days, during which time the twin she had returned home with died.
And then – once she recovered – the new mother revealed something which left the family startled.
