With the help of local youth, they admitted the baby to SNCU of the hospital. According to doctors, she‘s premature (born too early) and underweight (just 1900 g).

It was raining heavily

There‘s a whispering that the adjacent (next to the place, where the baby is found) girls hostel might have thrown the baby on the roof. It is unfortunate that the baby was left alone in a cruel way. But, it‘s great that she‘s rescued and now recovering.

What PaaLoNaa Thinks

If police will try to find out the truth about this case very closely, they will certainly be able to crack this case. This baby girl must be from any of nearby buildings. A similar case was happened in Panipat of Haryana last year.

Abandoning a newborn baby in unsafe conditions is a truly awful crime. Parents have option of Safe Surrender. If they are unwilling to raise their children, they can opt Safe Surrender.
