Police on Saturday collected blood samples from the baby found in a jungle in Ghurabandha, 80km from here, on September 6 last year, as well as from a couple who maybe her parents, for a DNA test.
Sakchi OC Kunal Kumar said they took blood samples of the baby, and her alleged parents Horo Purty and Pangela of West Singhbhum. The DNA test will be done in RIMS, Ranchi, after a court order.
The Purtys lost their daughter hours after she was born on September 2 at MGM hospital. Horo lodged an FIR against a woman caught on CCTV camera carrying the baby.
Four days later, a baby girl was found in a jungle in Ghurabandha. But as the weight and looks of the stolen baby and the baby found in the jungle differed, hospital authorities insisted on a DNA test.
