Probe Ordered into Newborn Theft Allegations at Hospital

Probe Ordered into Newborn Theft Allegations at Hospital

A woman named Mampi Khatun and her family claim that her newborn baby was stolen from a government hospital in West Bengal.

The hospital says the woman was never pregnant and that she has a rare condition called phantom pregnancy, where a woman believes she is pregnant but isn't.

The health department has started an investigation to find out what really happened.

The family says the woman was pregnant for nearly 10 months and was treated at the hospital, but the doctors say there is no evidence of a delivery.

The situation caused protests at the hospital, and the police had to step in to control the situation.

The investigation will look at CCTV footage and medical records to get to the truth.
