The incident came to light when some of the locals found the foetuses lying in the garbage bin near the stadium this morning.



"There were 14 foetuses in the garbage bin. All the foetuses have been sent to civil hospital for postmortem," Bapunagar police inspector RD Lashkari told PTI.



Lashkari said the sex of the foetuses would be determined after the postmortem and a case has been registered in this regard.



One of the locals, who informed the police about the incident, said these foetuses could have been dumped by private nursing homes in the area, which indulge in sex determination tests.
