Nansi was rushed to a nearby private hospital, where the doctor proclaimed her dead before they arrived. The parents planned to bury the kid in a civic cremation, but because they didn’t have a death certificate from a certified doctor, neighbours contacted the Virar police, who then reported the incident.
A case of murder was registered by the Virar police on Monday. Sub-inspector Changdev Handal of Virar police station said: ‘We registered a case of accidental death and sent the body for post-mortem. The report arrived on Sunday, confirming the child’s neck bone was broken. We have registered a case of murder under section 302 of the Indian Penal Code.
