We have registered a case under Section 317 (abandonment of child) of the IPC against unknown persons, said a police officer.

We suspect that the baby may have been dumped by the mother, said a police officer. “We are also checking the nearby private maternity and government hospitals for new deliveries in the past week to get some clues,” said the official.
