Keonjhar: A newborn girl packed in a bag was found dumped near a pond at Khireitangiri village under this block in Keonjhar district, Monday. On being informed, Turumunga police reached the spot and rescued the seven to 10-day old baby girl from the embankment of the pond behind a school at Dhanabeni Sahi in the village. Police handed over the newborn to the District Child Welfare Committee. Later, the infant was admitted to the district headquarters hospital in Keonjhar. The matter came to the fore when a woman identified as Gurubari Munda had gone near the pond to attend nature’s call and heard the baby crying. She rescued her from the bag and brought her back home. Another woman named Dalimba Munda nursed her and informed the police. It is suspected that someone might have placed the baby inside the bag, zipped it up and left it there, Turumunga IIC Dharmendra Shanti said.
