New-born found dead at hospital

By Our Staff Reporter

TIRUMALA JUNE 27. A woman, after giving birth to a baby, abandoned the infant and vanished. The baby was found dead.

The incident occurred in the lawns of the TTD-run Aswini Hospital. What is more shocking is the irresponsible attitude of the hospital employees, who said that they came to know about the incident only at 8.45 a.m. while it is believed to have occurred in the wee hours.

For the question how could any woman sneak into the lawns located in the heart of the hospital premises, the hospital staff had no answer.

The hospital authorities said that the baby might have died after its birth and had `marks' of injuries on its head and face. The authorities said they lodged a complaint with the police. No delivery case was registered in the hospital records since June 23, they said.

The two town police have registered a case and the investigation is on.
