New Delhi, Nov 08: In possibly the first case of its kind in the Capital, a new-born girl concealed in a polythene bag was found abandoned by the roadside in a North Delhi area today. The bag with baby crying inside was detected by a passer by lying in front of a shop in Sadar Bazar early in the morning, police sources said.

The baby was handed over to a police control room (PCR) van and the police took her to nearby Hindu Rao Hospital, they said.

The baby seemed to be one day old.

Senior police officials were not willing to give any information pertaining to the incident. This is possibly the first case of an infant having been disposed of in such a manner in Delhi, the sources said. Bureau Report
