Bhopal: Newborn Found Alive In Bushes, FIR Lodged

Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): In a shocking incident, unidentified persons left a newborn in the bushes on Islam Nagar Road under Itkhedi police station. Luckily, a commuter heard the cries of the child and rescued it.

The newborn has been admitted to hospital and an FIR has been registered against unidentified persons who abandoned it, police said.

According to reports, Sameer Mansuri of Hanumanganj was passing from Islam Nagar Road on Thursday night when he heard the cries of a new-born. Sameer was shocked when he spotted the new-born lying unclaimed in the bushes.

He immediately rescued the baby boy and called police. Head constable Chitranjan said the new-born is around two-days-old and has been admitted to hospital under the care of Child Welfare Committee.

Since there are no CCTV cameras installed at the exact location where the newborn was found, tracking down those responsible has proven to be challenging.

However, police officials have begun scanning CCTV footage from nearby areas in an effort to identify the individuals who abandoned the baby. Authorities are also urging the public to come forward with any information that could help in the investigation.
