Overview
- A sanitation worker discovered a clogged women’s toilet at Parasia Civil Hospital, and staff broke the commode to recover a newborn’s body before alerting police and sending it for autopsy.
- Police registered a case against unknown persons and launched an investigation centered on the hospital premises.
- Investigators are reviewing footage from 26 CCTV cameras across the facility, but the toilet lacked camera coverage, complicating efforts to reconstruct events.
- Hospital records show 15 pregnant women visited that day, of whom 14 have been traced, and one incomplete entry is under scrutiny as potentially linked to the incident.
- Sources linked to the probe say the autopsy indicates pulmonary oedema, though formal findings, including whether the baby was born alive, remain pending.
