A one-day-old baby girl allegedly suffered strangulation while receiving care at the Special Newborn Care Unit (SNCU) of Ashoknagar district hospital in Madhya Pradesh, leading to an investigation by police. Post-mortem examination revealed strangulation as the cause of death, with visible compression marks on the infant's neck and bleeding from her mouth.
Bhavana, the infant's mother and wife of Kedar Vishwakarma, delivered the baby girl at around 3:30 am on Saturday. Shortly after, family members discovered her condition and alerted the police, suspecting foul play. The SNCU, which has restricted access, lacks CCTV cameras. Civil Surgeon Dr. BP Tyagi stated that there is no record of anyone other than the infant's mother and grandmother visiting the newborn within the unit.
Police are questioning individuals who may have had access to the infant and are examining all circumstances surrounding the incident.
