In Baldia town, Karachi, unidentified men kidnapped a newborn girl from her mother.

A woman who was returning from taking her newborn to the doctor in a public transportation bus encountered a startling situation when some unidentified men came and stole the plastic cot her child was sleeping in.

The mother claimed that she had kept the infant in a plastic cot to protect her from the cold wind, but she believes that the abductors were robbers who mistakenly believed she was hiding cash or other valuables inside the covered cot.

“My wife wrapped our daughter in the plastic cot to keep her warm, the accused snatched her in no time, and run away.” The husband stated in First Information Report.

Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Keamari Fida Hussain told the media that an investigation into the incident has been launched, they are receiving CCTV footage of the incident, which will help start the search for the suspects.

At present, the whereabouts of the baby girl and her kidnappers are unknown.
