Lips Sealed With Glue, Stone Inside Mouth, Newborn Found Abandoned In Rajasthan Forest

A 15-day-old infant was discovered abandoned in a forest within Rajasthan's Bhilwara district. The newborn's lips had been sealed with adhesive, and when discovered, a stone was found lodged in the baby's mouth.

The stone was reportedly placed there to prevent the infant from crying or making sounds that might attract attention.

Despite what appears to be deliberate attempts to end the child's life, the baby survived. A local cattle herder discovered the infant while in the forest and immediately removed the stone from the child's mouth. The baby was promptly transported to a government medical facility where treatment is currently ongoing.

The discovery occurred in the jurisdiction of the Bijolia police station in Bhilwara's Mandalgarh assembly constituency. According to police reports, the infant was located in the forest adjacent to the road in front of Sita Kund Temple.

Law enforcement has initiated an investigation into the case and is working to identify and locate the infant's parents. Their efforts include examining recent delivery records from nearby hospitals and conducting interviews with residents of surrounding villages.
