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.

New Delhi (PTI): The Assam government has moved the Supreme Court against the Telangana High Court order granting one-week transit anticipatory bail to Congress leader Pawan Khera in a case registered against him for levelling allegations against Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma's wife.
The petition was filed on Sunday through advocate Shuvodeep Roy and is likely to be taken up for hearing this week.
On April 10, the high court granted one-week transit anticipatory bail to Khera.
The high court gave him a week's time to file an application before the court concerned and granted him relief with certain conditions.
"Without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, this court is of the view that the petitioner has made out a case for grant of limited transit anticipatory bail, as his apprehension of arrest appears to be reasonable and supported by material on record," the high court had said in its order.
The conditions were that the petitioner shall be released on bail in the event of arrest on his executing a personal bond for Rs one lakh with two sureties for the like sum each, cooperate with the investigation and make himself available for interrogation as and when required by the Investigating Officer and that he shall not leave the country without prior permission of the competent Court.
The conditions further include that the petitioner shall, within the stipulated period, approach the competent jurisdictional court in Assam and seek appropriate relief and he, being a public figure, shall exercise restraint in making any further public statements in relation to the subject matter of the present case, which may prejudice the investigation, the order said.
The Congress leader on April 5 had alleged that the Assam CM's wife, Riniki Bhuyan Sarma, has multiple passports and foreign property, which were not declared in the chief minister's election affidavit for the April 9 Assembly polls in that state.
The case against Khera was registered at the Guwahati Crime Branch Police Station under several sections of the BNS, including 175 (false statement in connection with an election), 35 (Right of private defence of the body and of property) and 318 (cheating).
Khera, who approached the high court on April 7, showed his residential address in Hyderabad. He had requested the high court to release him on bail in the event of his arrest.
