The body of a newborn girl was found along a road in Uttar Pradesh's Noida on Monday, police said.
The infant's body was spotted by some locals at Chhijarsi in Sector 63 who alerted the Phase 3 police station officials, they said.
"It appears that the baby was abandoned at the spot by someone fearing public shame," a local policeman said.
It was not clear whether the baby was already dead when abandoned or she died after being left there, the official said, adding an investigation is underway.
