Police form three teams to probe newborn baby girl’s murder
Hyderabad: The police have intensified their investigation by forming three teams to look into the death of a newborn baby girl who was thrown from a 13-storey building in Kushaiguda. After being thrown from a high-rise building in Satguru Residency on Sunday morning, the newborn baby girl died hours later at Niloufer Hospital.
Inquiries are being conducted with residents of Sadguru Residency and
adjacent buildings, as well as with watchman Lakshmi, who first spotted the
newborn baby girl in a pool of blood in the passageway . An additional
police team is conducting inquiries at nursing homes in the area to find out
details about women who delivered recently. Sources revealed that the other
technical team is going through the CCTV footage and will also track the
culprits with tower dump location. More than 30 CCTV recordings from two
weeks before the incident have been reviewed, but the police have not found
any evidence of who might have thrown the newborn from a high-rise building.
Police believe that the newborn baby girl was delivered in a house and not
in a hospital and thrown away a few hours after the delivery. Further, the
umbilical cord was not cut by a professional, leading police to believe that
the perpetrators wanted to get rid of the newborn baby girl as soon as she
was born.
The CCTV footage did not show any suspicious movements of any outsider, so
police believe the heinous crime was committed by someone from within the
building or nearby buildings. “The incident occurred in the morning hours.
If it was an outsider’s job, we would have traced the culprits in the CCTV
footage. There are three buildings adjacent to Satguru Residency, but the
passage has no CCTV camera. The culprits who have flung the baby girl are
well aware that there is no CCTV installed in the passage,” a police officer
said.
The police altered the case from 153 A to 302 of IPC (murder) and shifted
the body for post-mortem and preservation in the Gandhi hospital mortuary.
