In a tragic and shocking incident, the body of an infant was found wrapped in a plastic bag in the dustbin outside the Ukrid more within the limits of Sector-12 police station on Sunday morning.
While the residents denied knowing the baby, they suspected that someone else may have placed the infant’s body in a dustbin. The incident came to light after the daily garbage collection staff noticed the dead body in the dustbin and alerted his supervisor who in turn alerted the Sector-XII police of the incident.
Sector-XII police rushed to the site even as a large crowd gathered at the residential BSL quarters after the news broke out of the incident.
Local residents also arrived at the site and met the family living in the quarter to enquire about the shocking and tragic incident.
Speaking to reporters, the local youth said the incident occurred early in the morning on Sunday. “I had arrived near the dustbin to collect the daily garbage and I noticed something suspicious about the dustbin. There was an object concealed in double plastic bags inside the bin and I opened it to only find that it was an infant. I checked to see if the infant was alive but found it dead.”
