BHOPAL: A newborn girl was found abandoned in an auto rickshaw in Shankaracharya Nagar here on Wednesday morning. The residents saw the baby and informed the police, who later sent the infant to Hamidia Hospital for medical examination.
The police have registered a case under section 317 of IPC (crime against children by parents or others to expose or to leave them with the intention of abandonment) in this connection.
Officials said the baby girl was found in an auto, belonging to one Laeek Ahmed. The auto was parked outside his house in Shankaracharya Nagar. Listening to the screams of infant, who appears to be around a week old, the residents came out of their houses and later informed the police.
Meanwhile, a woman identified as Noor Jehan also expressed her whish adopt the girl, the police said, adding that the kid has been sent for medical examination. The police officials were also trying to identify the parents of the baby. Of late, such incidents mainly involving the girl child are not uncommon in the city. Similar incident had taken place in the Minal Residency recently, where a baby girl was recovered from the bushes along the roadside. A local NGO had then come forward and rescued the girl. The police officials find themselves helpless in tracing parents in most of the incidents that result in the new born kids left to the mercy of NGOs and adoption centres.
