The body of a premature baby, that was stuck in the squat toilet of a government-run hospital in Virar West, was recovered on Thursday morning. There was no action taken, as the police have found it was miscarried by a minor girl who was raped. They are waiting for a DNA test on the baby.
The baby was first seen by cleaning staff at the hospital. "The female cleaning staff noticed blockage in the toilet. While cleaning it she saw the head and immediately informed me," said a Medical Officer at the hospital, Dr Vipin Jain, who informed local police and Fire Brigade officials.
