The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has issued notices to Delhi's AAP government and the Delhi Police Commissioner over reported abduction of a pregnant woman from LNJP Hospital.
The Commission has taken suo motu cognisance of a media report that a woman, who went to LNJP Hospital in Delhi on February 6 for her delivery along with her mother-in-law, was allegedly lured away by some persons from the premises of the hospital and she returned home the next day in a delirious condition without her newborn child.
The husband of the woman has alleged that the incident was reported to the police but no action had been taken, said an NHRC statement.
"The news report, if true, raises a serious issue of violation of human rights," observed the Commission while issuing notices and calling for a report on the matter within two weeks.
The family alleged that she was abducted by some persons in collusion with the hospital staff who got her delivery done.
Reportedly, there have been several instances of abduction of children from LNJP Hospital, the Commission said in its statement.
