Infant girl survives live burial
|
HAMIRPUR: Indian police said they were looking for the parents of a two-day-old girl who was buried alive because of her gender but survived the ordeal. "We are investigating the case. The hunt for the parents is on," senior superintendent of police HS Aparna told AFP on Tuesday. The girl was found in a ditch when her shrill cries caught the attention of a farm helper at Hamirpur, a northern district in impoverished Uttar Pradesh state.
"She is a small little angel. I was lucky to reach that spot and hear the cries of this baby. Otherwise she would have died within hours," said Lakshmi Rani, who now wants to adopt the child. Rani calls the baby Mili, which is Hindi for "found". She already has three children, including a girl and said her construction-worker husband was initially reluctant to adopt the abandoned child but had eventually relented. Residents of Gaura village, where the child was discovered, said that it was the seventh such incident in the past fortnight.
