HYDERABAD: The Cyberabad police are on the lookout for a couple who allegedly abducted a newborn baby boy from a primary healthcare centre (PHC) at Serilingampally on Friday.

The police are preparing the portraits of the couple with the help of boy's mother Kavita and circulate it to all the police stations across the State to trace them.

Portraits in 3 days

"Efforts are being made to nab the couple," Chandanagar Inspector M. Madhusudhan Reddy said on Sunday.

The portraits would be circulated within three days," he said. Kavita, a native of Bidar in Karnakata, had been loitering on the premises of Nizamabad railway station after her husband deserted her three months ago at Kamareddy. On October 24, she delivered a baby boy.

A couple befriended her at the railway station on Thursday while she was seeking alms and brought her back to the city for tubectomy at a health centre in Serilingampally.

After the operation, the couple told Kavita that they were taking the child to a hotel and would return within an hour.

But they failed to come to the PHC till evening.

Though Kavita inquired about her son with patient's attendants and the hospital authorities, she could not find the couple and her child.

Kavita later lodged a complaint with the police.
