Missing child: women’s panel takes case

Woman says parents took her newborn from her three days after birth

The Kerala Women’s Commission has taken a case on the complaint of a young woman from Peroorkada that her parents took her newborn away from her.

Commission chairperson P. Satheedevi sought an urgent report from the State Police Chief on the matter. Both the parties will be summoned to a sitting to be held here next month, a statement from the commission here on Thursday said.

The woman, Anupama Chandran, lodged a complaint with the Peroorkada police in April. The police registered a case recently. She had alleged that her parents separated her from her child three days after she gave birth in October last year.
