Kottayam: The woman who abducted an infant from Kottayam Medical College hospital, allegedly to blackmail her boyfriend, had started her friendship with him through TikTok, said police. They were in a relationship for the past one and a half years.
The husband of the accused is working abroad. But Neethu had told her boyfriend Ibrahim Badusha that she was a divorcee. Though Ibrahim was aware of Neethu’s pregnancy, she had concealed her abortion from him.
