“The lady found a lump of flesh which does not have limbs, but is suspected to be a foetus with blood surrounding it. She informed principal Ramesh Kotkar, who approached us and registered a complaint,” said senior police inspector Ashok Rajput of Nerul station.

“We got the details of the females present in the school, which were around 1,223, including teachers, staff, non-teaching staff, law college students, and students of higher secondary and junior college. We have sent the lump to Kalina Forensic Lab to confirm if it is a foetus,” said Mr. Rajput.
