Newborn abandoned in carton box in Bangalore

Last Updated 01 February 2012, 12:25 IST

After battered baby Falak's case, another horrifying matter came to the fore today when a newborn was found in a carton box in a busy area here.

The baby boy, wrapped in a cloth, was spotted by garbage cleaners in a parking area in the morning, Deputy Commissioner of Police (South Division) Sonia Narang told PTI.

To ensure the baby's sound health, he has been shifted to a private hospital where he will be kept for a day or two and then handed over to a city-based NGO which adopts abandoned babies, she said.

An FIR has been registered under IPC section 317 (exposure and abandonment of child under 12 years, by parent or person having care of it), Narang said.

Two-year-old Falak, whose head was smashed and body with bite marks all over, was abandoned by a teenager at the AIIMS in Delhi on January 18. She continues to be in a critical condition and has developed an infection in the brain.
