MUMBAI: A day after the body of a day-old girl was found dumped in a garbage bin in Bhayander (W), the autopsy report on Tuesday confirmed that the child was strangled to death.

A ragpicker had found the newborn's body lying in a trash can in Bakery Gully at 9.15am on Monday. There were blood stains on the child's nose and a dupatta was wrapped around her neck. The body was wrapped in a plastic bag that carried the name of Saifee Hospital, Charni Road. Investigators believe that the child's body was dumped late at night.

The Bhayander police have registered a case under Section 302 (murder) of the Indian Penal Code. A police team has been interacting with Saifee Hospital officials. Investigators are also visiting maternity homes in the region to gather information about newborns.

In October, a baby girl was flung out of a moving train between Naigaon and Bhayander stations. The CCTV cameras had captured an arm extending out of the train and throwing out the baby. The government railway police (GRP) has been unable to get any leads in the case.
