The infant was saved by the Electronics City police after a shopkeeper informed them about the infant stuffed in a plastic bag and left under a shrub in Celebrity Layout, Doddathoguru. Police constable Archana, of the Electronic City police headquarters and also a mother of three-month old child had breast fed the infant when it was conveyed to her station. Later the infant was moved to Shishu Mandir on Hosur Road.
After a day, the infant built up some health issues and was admitted to a hospital. The director of the hospital Asha Benakappa affirmed the death of the child. “The infant’s brain was harmed when it was brought here and it died on June 7 following brain infection.”
