Police rescue infant from Ctg graveyard

Police on patrol duty rescued a seven-month-old baby who was abandoned at a graveyard in Chattogram Polytechnic Institute area yesterday afternoon.

"We saw a man getting down from a CNG-run auto-rickshaw with something wrapped in a cloth around 1:30pm," Assistant Sub-Inspector Hiron Miah of Khulshi Police Station said. "The man threw it to the graveyard and quickly got back on the auto-rickshaw," he added.

Intrigued, the police team approached the spot and found out it was a baby girl.

"We rushed the rescued baby to Chattogram Medical College Hospital," Hiron Miah said. "The baby is undergoing treatment at the ICU. We don't understand why the man threw a baby into a graveyard."
