Unidentified one-day-old child found abandoned on roadside in Mangaluru
Ullal: A day-old child was found, apparently discarded, beside a road in Thokkottu near here on Thursday, much to the shock of the locals.
The matter came to the notice of Amar, who heard the sound of the baby crying near his house on Ambika Road in Kapikad, Thokkottu, on Thursday. When he searched around his house, he found the child wrapped in white cloth and placed below a car parked nearby, said sources.
He inquired with his neighbours, none of whom could identify the baby. Amar’s family treated the child, before handing it over to the District Wenlock Hospital authorities.
Amar also informed Ullal Police about the matter. The Ullal Police, who registered a case in this regard, are searching for clues on the identity of the child.

Teen dies in car stunt accident in Kerala, driver held
Thrissur (Kerala) (PTI): A man was arrested on Monday after a 14-year-old boy was killed when a car overturned during a stunt-driving incident at Chamakala Rajiv Road beach in Chentrappinni here, police said.
The arrested accused was identified as Shajeer alias Saddam (36), a native of Kurikkuzhi in Kaipamangalam.
According to police, the incident occurred around 6 pm on Sunday when the accused allegedly performed dangerous drifting manoeuvres with an open-top Gypsy vehicle at the beach, without following any safety norms.
The accused picked up three minors — Mohammed Sinan (14), Mohammed Shafeer (14) and Ameer (12) — who were playing at the beach, and made them sit at the rear of the vehicle before driving recklessly.
While performing the drifting stunt, the vehicle went out of control and overturned, trapping Sinan underneath.
He suffered severe head injuries and succumbed to the impact, police said.
Based on a complaint, Kaipamangalam police registered a case under Section 105 (culpable homicide) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
After completing the preliminary probe, police arrested Shajeer on Monday.
He was later produced before a court and remanded to judicial custody, police said.
The accused is involved in 11 criminal cases.
