Pollachi: A 50-year-old woman was arrested on Thursday for lifting a five-day-old infant from a government hospital here on May 5.
The accused has been identified as Mariamma, a resident of Udmalpet.
According to the police, the infant belongs to a tribal couple who lives in Narikalpathi village near Annamalai.
"As per the parents of the infant, the accused met them in the hospital and told them that her husband had been admitted in the male ward of the same hospital. She urged them to allow her to stay in a female ward with their child. She also promised the couple that she would look after their child.
