Panic spread through Mumbai’s Jari Mari area when the body of a newborn girl was discovered discarded in a deserted location early this morning. Sakinaaka police were alerted around dawn and mobilized immediately to the site near Sevaknagar’s Muslim Society, close to the airport perimeter.
Beat marshals and duty officers secured the perimeter and performed on-site documentation before rushing the infant to Rajawadi Hospital. Tragically, medical staff confirmed the baby’s death upon examination. The post-mortem report, expected soon, will shed light on whether foul play was involved beyond abandonment.
The child, estimated to be just hours old, had light skin, medium build, curly locks, and measured roughly 18 inches. Found without clothing, she appeared to have died soon after birth, per preliminary police findings.
‘Social pressures or personal motives likely led someone to hide the birth by dumping the body here,’ police sources revealed. The station has filed an FIR against an unidentified suspect. Teams are scouring surveillance videos, interviewing residents, and contacting maternity wards in the vicinity for any leads on recent deliveries.
This disturbing case underscores the dark underbelly of urban anonymity, where lives are discarded without trace. Activists are demanding enhanced monitoring in high-risk zones and awareness campaigns to combat infanticide. Police vow to leave no stone unturned in apprehending the culprit, urging witnesses to come forward.
