Police got the information around 5 pm from a hospital about the death of a two-month-old baby, said Deputy Commissioner of Police (South) Benita Mary Jaiker. The infant was spotted inside the oven by a neighbour, she said. The incident is being probed from all angles and a case of murder is being registered against unknown persons, Jaiker said.
”No one has been arrested so far. We are examining everyone concerned,” she said.
According to a senior police officer, the mother of the child is the main suspect in the incident. She is being interrogated at the police station and further investigation is underway, the officer said.

“We broke the glass and entered the room. We found the woman lying unconscious inside and the child missing.
“We checked all over the area, but could not find the infant. Later, two-three more persons came and they checked a room where an oven was placed … they found the child inside,” said the neighbour.
Another neighbour said that after scouring the area for some time, a few of them reached the terrace of the house, where they found a room which was unbolted.
“They entered the room and found the child inside a microwave oven,” he said, adding that they then informed the police about the incident.
