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.
