Newborn’s body found in hospital toilet pit in Ramanagara, police launch probe
Bengaluru: In a distressing incident, the body of a newborn boy was discovered in the toilet pit of a private hospital in Harohalli, Ramanagara, on Wednesday. The discovery was made by housekeeping staff at the Chandramma Dayananda Sagar Institute of Medical Education and Research while they were clearing a blockage in the pit, which had been clogged since Tuesday night. Authorities believe the body may have been dumped into the commode that same evening.
A senior police officer stated that the identity of the parents would be determined through DNA testing. The investigation will also involve reviewing CCTV footage, particularly around the radiology department, to identify individuals who passed by the area. Additionally, a list of all pregnant women who visited the hospital in recent days will be compiled.
While the police are considering the possibility that the baby was brought from elsewhere and dumped at the hospital, they have registered a case under Section 94 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, which pertains to the concealment of birth by secretly disposing of a dead body. The investigation is ongoing, with authorities working to uncover the circumstances surrounding this tragic event.

BJP has history of ‘contradictory alliances’, says BK Hariprasad
Bengaluru: Congress MLC B. K. Hariprasad has launched a sharp attack on the BJP, accusing the party of hypocrisy over its criticism of alliance politics in Tamil Nadu.
In a post on X on Friday, Hariprasad said BJP leader B. L. Santhosh criticising the Congress party’s alliance politics in Tamil Nadu was “not just laughable, but the height of political contradiction.”
He said the Congress has always joined hands with like-minded parties to protect secular and democratic values in the country.
Hariprasad questioned the BJP over several of its past and present alliances across the country. Referring to Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, Tripura, Bihar and Maharashtra, he accused the BJP of sharing power with parties it had earlier criticised.
He alleged that the BJP had aligned with separatist and corruption-linked political forces in different states for political gains.
“The BJP, which speaks against alliances today, should first look at its own political history,” he said, adding that the party’s record was full of “contradictions and changing stands.”
Hariprasad also accused the BJP of using central agencies such as the Enforcement Directorate, Income Tax Department and CBI as political tools to target opposition leaders, topple governments and influence electoral mandates.
He further claimed that the people of Tamil Nadu had strongly rejected the BJP and its ideology in the recent election.
“Congress forms alliances to protect the Constitution, secularism and national unity, while the BJP enters into alliances only for power,” he said.
