Panic gripped Tajpur road when the body of a newborn girl was fished out from the Buddha Nullah on Monday. The police said that the body was decomposed, and the age of the newborn could only be confirmed after the post-mortem examination.
On Monday afternoon, a ragpicker was collecting empty plastic bottles near the nullah when he noticed the body and informed the police. The police said that the body has been sent to the civil hospital and further probe is on.
Sub-inspector Avtar Singh, SHO at Daresi Police station, said it could be an unmarried woman who aborted her pregnancy to avoid social harassment. After she gave birth, she dumped her there.
The police will check records of hospitals, nursing homes and midwives to get details of women who had gone through delivery in the past two or three days.
