Newborn Buried Alive in Dung Heap to Hide Unmarried Pregnancy

A baby was buried in a pile of dung in a village in India.

The family did this because the mother was not married and did not want people to know she had a baby.

Villagers heard a baby cry at night and told the police.

The police found the baby’s body and took it out of the dung.

The baby was wrapped in a cloth that was tied around its mouth and neck.

The police are still trying to find out how the baby died.

The grandfather of the baby tried to kill himself by eating poison.

The police have opened a case and will investigate more after a medical exam.
