This incident has caused significant distress among local inhabitants, leading to a gathering of large crowds at the site. Witnesses reported seeing the body early in the morning, which prompted immediate action from the authorities.

Police Investigation Underway

Upon receiving notifications about the incident, law enforcement officials from the Udhna Police Station promptly arrived at the scene to conduct investigations. Police Inspector RM Thakor stated that it is believed the baby’s body was deliberately abandoned in a heap of garbage by an unidentified individual.

Authorities are also making efforts to track down any suspicious individuals or vehicles that may have been present in the area during the night and early morning hours leading up to the discovery. These actions are part of a broader strategy to prevent similar incidents and to ensure that those responsible are held accountable.
