On realising what had happened, Saari and his family rushed the girl to a nearby hospital, where she was declared dead on arrival. A case was registered under section 304 A (negligence causing death) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
Meanwhile, a local patrolling van received information from locals and reached the spot to enquire about the child's death. "Khaleed did not see the baby standing in front of the car. He drove the car, causing Huda to come under the front tyres of the car. She sustained severe head injuries," the Chandrayangutta police was quoted as saying in the report.
