Mumbai, May 29: A shocking incident unfolded at Rajawadi Hospital in Ghatkopar, Mumbai, where a newborn was discovered abandoned in a bathroom. The baby’s cries alerted staff, ultimately saving its life.
Following the incident, both hospital administration and police were thrown into a frenzy. The Tilak Nagar police have registered a case and are actively searching for the mother who abandoned the infant.
According to Mumbai police, on the night of May 25, police constable Jitendra Vishnu Patil was on duty at the casualty department of Rajawadi Hospital. Around 9 PM, a young man named Vishnu Shriram Patel approached him in a distressed state, reporting that a newborn was crying in the bathroom near Ward 40.
