A foetus, nestled among an empty packet of cigarettes, balloons and dust, was abandoned near a drain in Gujarat’s Surat. Carrion-eating birds were hovering over it. A group of children threw stones to disperse the birds and raised an alarm when they realised that there’s an infant. The police were called in.<\/p>\n
The infant, a girl child, was rushed to the civil hospital but the doctors declared the child dead on arrival.<\/p>\n
The incident was reported from Surat’s Apekshanagar on January 9.<\/p>\n
The search led police to the doorstep of a 16-year-old girl.<\/p>\n
“Initially, her mother and the person who delivered the child both said no. The police persisted and the 16-year-old was taken for a medical examination at the New Civil Hospital where a doctor confirmed that she had delivered a child,” said Deputy Commissioner of Police Zone 4 Vijay Singh Gurjar.<\/p>\n
Upon investigation, said the police officer, it was revealed that the girl is only a 16-year-old and even attended school till January 3.<\/p>\n
Upon further inquiry, the girl revealed that she met a 17-year-old boy\u00a0on Instagram and they became friends.<\/p>\n
“Both of them came in contact with each other through Instagram. That boy lived in a rented house in Pandesara, an industrial area in Surat, and they had physical relations in that house due to which the girl became pregnant,” said the police officer.<\/p>\n
Upon learning that the girl is pregnant, the boy, originally from Uttar Pradesh, first ran away home and then to Mumbai, said the police.<\/p>\n
“From Mumbai, the boy sent her a packet of tablets to end pregnancy. She took two tablets and had a miscarriage at home. She threw the foetus away,” said the police officer quoting the girl.<\/p>\n
“We have taken their (boy and girl) DNA samples and an investigation is underway,” the officer said.<\/p>\n
The boy will be produced before a Juvenile Justice Board, said the cop.<\/p>\n
