Vadodara: An infant girl was found abandoned at Jambuva near national highway-48 early on Sunday morning.
The girl believed to be four to five days old was found crying under a tree by an auto-rickshaw driver who lives nearby. Mohammed Miya Sheikh told police that he had gone for his morning walk when he heard the infant crying as ants were crawling over her body. After removing the ants, Sheikh called the police and took the girl to his building where he informed people in his neighbourhood about his discovery.
Locals fed her with water and later handed her over to the paramedical staff of 108 GVK-EMRI emergency services. The infant was taken to SSG Hospital where she is kept under observation. “The girl was wrapped in a blanket and has been admitted for a medical check-up,” said a police official. .
