Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): After a two-day-old abandoned baby girl was rescued from the railway track in Bhopal, CCTV footage has surfaced revealing disturbing details on Wednesday.
The police arrested the accused nurse Aasman Khan for allegedly dumping the baby on the basis of the CCTV footage. Investigations have revealed that the baby was born to a 17-year-old minor. She, along with her family members, have been booked under section 93 of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
The CCTV clip shows a middle-aged woman, said to be a nurse, carrying a yellow and a blue-coloured packet—supposed to be the same in which the little girl was found tied on the railway tracks. She is seen picking the bag from her scooter near a railway track, quickly running her eyes across to ensure there is no one looking at her. The video further shows her returning empty-handed.
The infant has reportedly died after struggling for 24 hours at Kamla Nehru Hospital on Wednesday.

Teen pregnancy
It is suspected that the early pregnancy of the teenage girl might have led her family to make the heartbreaking decision to abandon the child. Authorities believe that the family may have been trying to conceal the birth due to societal pressure.
This new evidence has provided a crucial lead for the police, who are on investigation to identify the woman involved. The footage is being closely analysed to trace the scooty's registration and find the possible clues about her identity.
