Newborn baby's body found on shoreline
Police are investigating after a newborn baby's body was found along a Welsh shoreline.
A newborn baby boy was discovered lifeless in a bag near Agara Lake in HSR Layout, Bengaluru on Sunday morning, September 27, 2026. The unfortunate event was reported around 7:30 a.m. by Maruthi, a 27-year-old driver and resident of Ramamurthy Nagar. While exploring the area with a friend, Maruthi noticed a bag containing a baby's leg.
Upon closer inspection, he observed blood on the infant's leg and concluded that it was a newborn. Realizing the gravity of the situation, Maruthi promptly informed the police control room. Police officers arrived at the scene and took measures to secure the body. Preliminary investigations suggest that the infant had been abandoned just after birth.
A case has been filed under Section 94 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) 2023, and the HSR Layout police are conducting a thorough investigation to identify the baby's parents or caregivers and determine the circumstances that led to the death. They are also reviewing CCTV footage from the vicinity and collecting additional evidence to trace the responsible parties.
