In a shocking incident at Kalwa's Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Hospital, a Thane resident fled the hospital with his 8-month-old baby to prevent a post-mortem. The incident unfolded on Friday morning when the man claimed that his baby had been discharged. Despite efforts by hospital staff and a security guard to intervene, the man managed to elude them. He was later traced and apprehended by Shil-Dayghar police.

The events began on the night between Thursday and Friday when Sudhir Kumar brought his 8-month-old baby, Surya, to the Thane Municipal Corporation (TMC)-run Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Hospital in Kalwa. The initial medical assessment indicated that the baby had developed pneumonia, and his condition was critical. The infant was promptly admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Tragically, the baby passed away around 5:30 am on Friday.
