Body of newborn lying in mutilated condition on the roadside
Mandi, April 18: A tragic and horrifying incident has surfaced in Himachal Pradesh, shaking the collective conscience of the hill state once again. The mutilated body of a newborn baby was found lying on the roadside in Tikri Nala, under the jurisdiction of Pandoh Police Station, in the Mandi district.
Local residents stumbled upon the gruesome scene early Thursday morning while heading out for their daily chores. The shocking sight of the baby’s body led them to immediately inform the local panchayat, which in turn alerted the police.
Forensic Team Joins Investigation
A team from Pandoh Police Station reached the scene and took possession of the body. Given the disturbing condition of the infant’s remains, a forensic team has been summoned to conduct a thorough examination and assist in determining the circumstances of death.
According to initial police observations, parts of the baby’s body appear to be missing, which is believed to be due to animal activity. Officials suspect the infant may have been discarded elsewhere and dragged to the location by animals, although all angles are currently under investigation.
Police Confirm Case, Launch Probe
SP Mandi Sakshi Verma confirmed the incident and stated that a detailed investigation is underway. “The forensic team is assisting us at the scene. Further action will depend on the evidence we gather from the postmortem and technical investigation,” she said.
Authorities are also working to determine the identity of the mother or family involved and are checking nearby medical facilities for any recent births that went unreported.
Public Outrage and Demand for Justice
The incident has triggered outrage and sorrow among locals, with many calling it a shameful blot on humanity. Social activists and local leaders have condemned the act, urging the police to swiftly identify those responsible and ensure strict punishment under the law.
