A newborn baby was found abandoned on a train’s toilet at the Moradabad Junction in Uttar Pradesh. The police found the infant stuffed inside a bag in the washroom of the general coach of a Summer Special Train.

The police also found a SIM card in the bag, the owner of which was traced, and it was learnt that the baby belonged to a minor girl who had delivered the baby on the train.

As the investigations progressed, it was known that the minor girl was impregnated by her father after a rape.

The family of the minor girl was taking her to Delhi for treatment on June 22 when the girl gave birth in the train’s washroom.

Soon after, the family members put the newborn inside a bag and returned to their village.
