She was immediately caught and taken to the Nursing superintendent’s office and then handed over to the police at JMCH outpost.
A nurse said that though Arifa had aroused suspicion in the past few days she had always managed to avoid the other nurse’s questions by starting to talk to patients or by walking into some ward or the other.
The nurse alleged that the imposter was either looking to pilfer things or was part of a bigger gang who kidnapped newborns.
Police said that investigation was on to what her motive was.
