The incident is currently under investigation, with the police working closely with the community to identify and apprehend the person responsible for abandoning the baby.

A resident of the area, who prefers to remain anonymous, shared their thoughts on the matter, saying, “The person must have abandoned the baby while still alive, but due to severe exposure to cold, the baby died. This is the first time we are seeing this type of occurrence in our area.”

The tragic incident has raised concerns about the welfare and support available to new mothers, particularly those who may be facing stigma or difficulties. The police investigation is ongoing, and it is hoped that justice will be served for the abandoned baby.
