A newborn baby-boy was found abandoned in a drain near the church compound on the 60 ft road here on Tuesday.
The baby lay in the flowing sewage while onlookers took pictures and videos on their cellphones. The Suryapet I-town police, who rescued the two-day old, said the issue came to their notice when some locals alerted them.
The baby was admitted to the Area Hospital and its health was being monitored. Efforts were being made to trace the absconders and establish the identity of the baby, the police said.
