Premature Baby’s Body Found on Terrace in Delhi’s Prem Nagar

In a grim discovery that has shocked the residents of Prem Nagar in Delhi, the body of a premature newborn female was found on the terrace of a building in the Rohini area on Friday. The incident has raised serious concerns and prompted an investigation by the authorities.

According to the Delhi Police, a PCR call was received at Prem Nagar Police Station at around 12:12 PM, reporting the presence of a newborn baby’s body on a building terrace. Upon arriving at the scene, officers confirmed that it was indeed the body of a female infant. An initial examination indicated that the baby was not fully developed, suggesting she was born prematurely.

The newborn’s body was promptly transported to a hospital, where it has been preserved for a post-mortem examination. This procedure is expected to shed light on the circumstances of the baby’s death and provide critical details for the ongoing investigation.

“An FIR has been registered under Section 94 of the Indian Penal Code, which deals with the concealment of birth by secretly disposing of a child’s dead body,” said a senior police officer. The police are meticulously combing through nearby CCTV footage in an effort to identify the individuals responsible for abandoning the infant.

Residents of the area have expressed shock and disbelief at the incident. While the authorities are yet to determine whether the act was carried out by an individual or a group, the incident has raised concerns about the safety and well-being of vulnerable newborns. Local activists have called for increased awareness and support for expectant mothers who may be in distress.

This heartbreaking discovery adds to the growing list of incidents that underscore the urgent need for societal support mechanisms to address issues of unplanned pregnancies and neonatal care. Authorities urge anyone with information about the case to come forward to assist in the investigation. Further updates will be shared as more details emerge.
