Thu Nov 28 10:43:20 UTC 2024: ## Newborn Baby Found Dead in Hospital Toilet in Karnataka
**Harohalli, Karnataka:** A newborn baby’s body was discovered in a hospital toilet in Harohalli, Ramanagara district, Karnataka, sparking outrage and a police investigation. The grim find was made on Thursday by cleaning staff attempting to clear a toilet blockage on the ground floor of the hospital. Initially believing the obstruction to be waste material, they were horrified to retrieve the body of the infant, believed to be one or two days old.
Police suspect the incident occurred Wednesday night and are investigating whether the mother of the child is involved, or if the baby was brought to the hospital from another location. They are reviewing CCTV footage and have ruled out receiving any prior reports of a missing newborn. The possibility that the birth was concealed is also under investigation. The body has been sent for post-mortem.
This incident follows a similar case in Bengaluru last month, where a month-old baby girl was found dead in an overhead water tank, with the mother suspected of involvement. The Harohalli incident has deeply shocked hospital staff and the local community. Police have launched a full investigation.
