In a heart-wrenching incident, the naked body of a day-old baby girl was found abandoned near Mumbai’s airport wall in Jari Mari, sending shockwaves through the local community. The discovery was made in Sevaknagar’s Muslim Society vicinity, prompting an urgent police operation.
Control room received the distress call early morning, dispatching officers who arrived to find the infant in a critical state. After securing the scene and completing formalities, the child was conveyed to Rajawadi Hospital, where she was declared brought dead. The body has been sent for autopsy to ascertain the circumstances of death.
Described as fair-complexioned with curly hair and a petite frame of about 1.5 feet, the newborn’s condition points to death occurring immediately post-delivery. Authorities believe the perpetrator sought to cover up the birth due to stigma or other reasons, choosing a remote dump site.
Sakinaaka Police Station has launched a comprehensive investigation, registering a case against unknown persons. Efforts include reviewing CCTV from surrounding streets, canvassing neighborhoods, and liaising with nearby medical facilities for birth records or suspicious activities.
The tragedy has ignited public fury, with residents and NGOs highlighting the scourge of illegal abortions and child dumping. ‘Every lead is being pursued aggressively; we will crack this case soon,’ assured a police spokesperson. This event calls for urgent societal introspection on protecting the most vulnerable.
