Syfa Maisyatul, 20, reported to the police on Saturday that her newborn baby was missing from the maternity care ward where she had been treated.
She said that she handed her four-day old baby boy to a visiting relative as she was about to go to the rest room.
When she returned to her room five minutes later, the relative, identified as Icut, said that a nurse had asked for the baby to be checked by the doctor.
Upon her arrival at the hospital in the afternoon, another visiting relative, Mariam, said she saw a nurse walk out of the hospital with the unnamed baby. When she asked the nurse where she was taking the baby, the nurse said she wanted to hand the baby to his mother.
Hospital management said that they did not recognize the nurse.
