Investigators still in the dark
Investigators are still in the dark about the whereabouts of the woman who stole an identical twin from the neonatal unit of Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH).
Meanwhile, Kawsar Hossain, the stolen baby's father, alleged neither the DMCH authority nor police are showing any interest in finding the three-day-old baby.
"Although two days have passed and investigators have been handed the CCTV image of the woman, they are yet to tell me any word of hope," said Kawsar.
No one from the DMCH came to talk to him or console him after the incident, he told The Daily Star.
Kawsar pointed finger at hospital staffs and said it was impossible for anyone to steal a baby without their assistance from the maternity ward.
The twin boys were born on Wednesday morning to Runa Begum, a housewife, and Kawsar, a security guard of an apartment building. The couple reside in Mohammadpur.
The incident exposes serious security flaws at the country's premier public hospital that has as many as 53 CCTV cameras installed and an adequate number of guards watching over its precincts.
Shahbagh Police Station's Sub Inspector Ferdous Alam Sarker, the investigating officer (IO) of the case, said a team of police are working to track the thief down.
