Man arrested on the way to dump newborn
MUMBAI, May 27 -- A 28-year-old man was arrested on May 24 while trying to abandon a newborn girl, who he later admitted was his illegitimate child with his aunt, according to the police.
The accused, Dashrath Shivsaran from Bhandup, was in an auto rickshaw when officers from the Parksite police spotted him at Gandhinagar junction around 7pm, carrying something in a cloth. Police constable Satish Sasane, suspecting foul play, stopped the auto rickshaw and found the newborn child.
Since there was no woman with him, the police questioned Shivsaran and informed a female police officer from the Nirbhaya squad. When the female police officer arrived, Shivsaran got scared and confessed that the baby was his own daughter from an illegitimate relationship with his aunt.
The accused, who had gotten married a month ago, admitted that he had been having an affair with his aunt for the past four years, said a police officer. She had been living with him in Bhandup for four years, had gotten pregnant, and delivered the baby on May 24. Realising people would discover his relationship, Shivsaran told his aunt that he was taking the baby to his friend's house in Powai, but intended to dump her at an isolated spot, added the officer.
The police tracked down Shivsaran's aunt and reunited the newborn baby with her mother....
