A heartbreaking incident occurred on Sunday morning on a road in Vasai (Vasai Road), where a newborn baby was abandoned in a bag. The incident took place while the world was celebrating International Women’s Day.
Around 7:30 a.m. on Sunday, pedestrians near the Vasant Nagari signal in Vasai (East) noticed a suspicious bag lying on the road.
Upon checking it, they discovered a newborn baby inside. The Manikpur police were immediately informed and rushed to the spot to take the baby into custody.
The baby, estimated to be around 15 to 20 days old, was admitted to Sir DM Petit Hospital of the Vasai–Virar Municipal Corporation.
According to the preliminary medical report, the baby’s condition is stable. After receiving initial treatment, the baby was transferred to the Child Welfare Committee in Umrale for further care and legal procedures.
The Manikpur police have registered an official case and are currently examining CCTV footage and questioning local residents to identify the woman responsible for abandoning the baby.
Although the authorities have ensured the baby's safety, the incident has raised serious questions about societal mindset and the effectiveness of the “Save the Girl Child” campaign.
