A Pandoh police team quickly arrived at the scene and lights the remains. A forensic unit was also called to help with investment. While the initial mutilation caused fears of rititist activity, preliminary observations suggested the possibility that street animals could dismembered the body after it has been ruled out.
The Superintendent or Police Sakshi Verma confirmed the case, stating that the police were carrying out an exhaustive investigation with the help of forensic experts. The origin of the child and the circumstances that lead to abandonment remain under investigation and the appropriation action will be taken based on forensic findings, he said.
