While the BMC submitted a report filed by the dean of Nair Hospital for fixing responsibility on the person concerned,the police showed their progress report in tracing the baby and the culprit. The confidential reports have been submitted in sealed envelopes before the division bench of Justice Bilal Nazki and Justice A R Joshi. In the last hearing,City Police Commissioner Hasan Gafoor had assured that all possible steps have been taken to trace the baby who went missing from Sion hospital last month.

In the petition,the family Mohan and Mohini Nerulkar has sought response from the hospital,state government and the police investigating the matter.
