Chikkaballapur: Residents in Chikkaballapur are shocked now after a 13-day-old baby girl was found dead in suspicious circumstances in the city's Nakkalakunte locality. Police are on the hunt for the father of the baby girl, and they are investigating, Chikkaballapur Police confirmed.
The child, Noor Anam, is just 13 days old. According to preliminary information, she was sleeping with her mother before she was reported missing. Family members initially searched for the newborn after they could not find her.
During the search, the baby’s father, Imran, allegedly suggested to the family to check a nearby water storage tank, which might be where the baby could have fallen into it. The baby was later found dead in the water tank, raising serious questions about the reasons for her death.
Investigators suspect foul play, and suspicion has fallen on the father. Imran, according to local sources, had fantasized about having a male child before the birth of the baby. He was also said to have been unhappy after a girl was born. However, these claims are part of the ongoing investigation and have not been proven in court.
Police officials from the Chikkaballapur Town Police Station rushed to the scene when they received information about the incident. A spot inspection was conducted, and the baby's body was sent for post-mortem examination to determine the true cause of death.
Investigators are gathering information from family members, neighbors, and other witnesses to reconstruct the sequence of events. They are also looking at forensic evidence from the house and the water tank where the infant was found.
The motive for the incident has not yet been definitively identified, police said. Police said all angles are being investigated, including whether the child’s death was an accident or a deliberate act. Forensic evidence and the post-mortem report are expected to make up much of the evidence in the case.
The heartbreaking incident has galvanized the local community and has also stirred up a conversation about protecting the rights and safety of girl children. Where credible evidence exists, appropriate legal action will be taken according to the law.
Police have urged the public not to spread unverified information on social media and to allow the investigation to proceed. More details are expected to emerge as the investigation continues.
