Tragic Discovery on Coimbatore Roadside
In a heartbreaking incident that has shocked the local community, the body of a newborn baby was discovered near Kovilpalayam in Coimbatore district on Thursday afternoon. The grim finding took an even more disturbing turn when authorities noted that the lower portion of the infant's body was completely missing, leading to preliminary suspicions that stray dogs might be responsible.
Police Response and Investigation Details
The Kovilpalayam police received critical information around 2:50 PM on Thursday about the abandoned newborn located along the Kalapatti-Veeriyampalayam road. Law enforcement officials immediately rushed to the scene to secure the area and recover the remains.
A senior police officer involved in the case revealed disturbing details about the condition of the body. "We could not determine the gender of the newborn because the lower part of the body was missing," the officer stated. The proximity to a garbage dumping site, located approximately 50 meters from where the body was found, has become a significant focus of the investigation.
Current Theories and Ongoing Probe
Investigators are working on the theory that someone discarded the newborn, either alive or deceased, into the garbage area, where stray dogs subsequently accessed the body and consumed the lower portion. This theory is supported by the location evidence and the nature of the injuries observed on the remains.
The tiny body has been transferred to Coimbatore Medical College Hospital for a comprehensive postmortem examination that authorities hope will provide more clarity about the circumstances surrounding this tragedy. Meanwhile, the police department has demonstrated the seriousness of this case by forming two special investigation teams dedicated specifically to identifying the individual or individuals responsible for abandoning the newborn.
Authorities have officially registered a case and the investigation continues as forensic experts and police personnel work tirelessly to uncover the truth behind this disturbing incident that has left the Coimbatore community in mourning and seeking answers.
