A seven-month-old foetus has been found dumped in a garbage bin in Mumbai, police said on Tuesday. A passer-by spotted the foetus on Monday afternoon in the garbage bin of the Ashtavinayak Society building in Charkop area.
After being alerted, police reached the spot and sent the foetus to a hospital for post-mortem, a Charkop police official said. “We are investigating if there is any evidence of concealing the death of a newborn baby and disposing of the body.
We are collecting details of pregnant women in the locality as well as those who recently delivered babies,” the official said. The post-mortem report is awaited, based on which a case will be registered, the police added.
