Muzaffarnagar: On a deserted lane in Uttar Pradesh's Muzaffarnagar, a car paused briefly as a woman opened the door and dropped a baby. The incident, which took place on Wednesday, was caught on CCTV.
In the video clip that has provoked shock on social media, the woman in a grey Santro car leaves the baby on the steps outside a house, dangerously close to the narrow road.
The baby, a girl, has been found and is being treated at a local hospital. The district's Chief Medical Officer said that the newborn is in a critical condition. "We are hopeful of her recovery," he said.
On Sunday, footage surfaced of a Kerala couple abandoning their five-day old baby outside a church. The father was seen kissing the baby before placing her on the ground. They have been arrested. The couple was reportedly afraid of being shamed socially for having a fourth child.
