NEW DELHI: An infant was found lying in a garbage dump near Rajokri bus stop on Saturday morning. Police said a passerby noticed the three-day-old newborn girl and called up the police and brought the girl home as it was raining. “The police took the girl to Fortis Hospital Vasant Kunj where she is under treatment. Further legal action is being taken as per the law,” a senior police official said. “The baby was drenched due to rain, extremely weak and in a hypothermic state with the umbilical cord attached and appeared to be a preterm baby. She was shifted to the neonatal intensive care unit. At present, we are monitoring the oxygen saturation level, correcting her blood sugar, and have stabilised her. The baby is responding to treatment which is a good sign,” Dr Rahul Nagpal, director and HOD, pediatrics, Fortis Hospital, said.
