As per the Bagsewania police, foetus was discovered in a drain near public urinal at Bagsewania market area on Thursday morning. Doctor, who runs Vikas Medical Clinic on main road near Sulabh Complex, informed the police, when he spotted foetus in drain at time of opening the clinic. Police team immediately rushed there and recovered it and sent for post-mortem. It was dead as it was dumped in night or early in the morning. Since the foetus is four-month-old it was difficult to know about its sex.
“The locals pointed me about the foetus, when I opened my clinic at 10 am. I informed the police. It was just a foetus. Police team immediately came here and took it into possession; Dr Ashok Singh said adding that it created sensation in the locality. Someone might have dumped it night in drain, at public urinal (Sulabh Complex). SHO of Bagsewania Shailendra Sharma said, “As it was four-months-old, police are also unable to answer about its sex as of now. This is going to be a sensitive case. Was it a miscarriage or was it a baby which has been deliberately abandoned as mother doesn’t want to get it delivered would be known in further investigation.”
