10-Day-Old Newborn Abandoned At Ahmedabad’s Geetamandir ST Stand, Woman Caught On CCTV

A nearly 10-day-old newborn was allegedly abandoned at the old Geetamandir ST bus stand in Ahmedabad, prompting the Kagadapith police to launch an investigation to trace the woman suspected of leaving the baby behind.

The newborn was found in an open area between the Khodalraj Nasta shop and the Heritage Gate near Krishna Medical Store inside the bus stand. Police suspect that the woman may have abandoned the baby to conceal the birth.

The Kagadapith police She-Team reached the spot after receiving information about the abandoned newborn. The team found the baby lying unattended and immediately began efforts to identify the child’s family.

An announcement was also made through the bus stand’s public address system, but no relative or guardian came forward to claim the newborn.

Police subsequently checked CCTV footage from the area. The footage showed an unidentified woman, believed to be around 35 to 40 years old, wearing a mehendi-coloured saree, leaving the spot at around 2:05 pm after allegedly abandoning the baby.
