Woman Accused of Abandoning Fetus at Quarry in Kerala
In Kerala, a woman named Swapna, who is 37 years old, is in trouble with the police.
She is accused of leaving a baby's body, which was about eight months old, in a bag at a quarry.
The police found out because Swapna went to the hospital for bleeding.
The hospital staff thought she might have had an illegal abortion and told the police.
Police believe Swapna tried to end her pregnancy at home using pills.
After the baby was born at home, she allegedly put it in a bag and left it at the quarry.
A case has been filed against her for this.
She is currently in the hospital, and police will talk to her and her family when she is better.
A case has been registered against a 37-year-old woman, Swapna, for allegedly abandoning an eight-month-old fetus at a quarry in Attoor, Kerala.
Police were alerted by hospital authorities after Swapna was admitted with severe bleeding, suspecting an illegal abortion.
It is alleged that Swapna concealed her pregnancy, took abortion pills, delivered the fetus at home, and then abandoned it.
The case is registered under Sections 88 (causing miscarriage) and 94 (secret disposal of a dead child's body) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
Swapna is currently hospitalized, and police plan to record her statement and those of her relatives once she recovers.
