A 5-day-old child has been rescued after she was deserted in a drain and left to die in Mumbai, India.
Police mentioned residents discovered the newborn after a bunch of cats gathered at a spot alongside the highway and commenced making a ruckus - hissing, and purring loudly.
Police officers are actually investigating how the newborn ended up within the drain.
The child was rescued by a women-led police workforce from a suburban Mumbai neighbourhood on Sunday, November 14.
When the police arrived, they discovered the toddler mendacity contained in the drain. They mentioned the newborn - wearing a flimsy shirt and soaked in sewage water - was wailing in misery.
Two officers then scooped her out, wrapped her in a fabric and took her to the hospital.
"When we lifted the the baby out, she was freezing; her arms had turned blue. We asked for some warm water and cloth to clean the baby,"Police Constable, Sheetal Sonawane instructed the Occasions of India newspaper.
Medical doctors on the Rajawadi hospital now say the newborn is "stable".
"Doctors are constantly monitoring her health. We will keep her under observation for the next few days," Dr Vidya Thakur, the medical superintendent of the hospital mentioned.
