A seven-month-old foetus was found near a dustbin in south Delhi's Mehrauli area, police said. The foetus was found by a sweeper who informed the police on Saturday.
The police have registered a case in the matter. They are scanning the CCTV footage to identify the person who left the foetus there.
Earlier this year, a
six-month-old foetus was found in a government colony in Bharti Nagar in Delhi. The foetus was lying in a common toilet of servant's quarters, police said.
Similar cases have been reported in other parts of the country as well. Last year,
