Lucknow, June 6:  In a shocking incident,  a woman dropped a new-born baby on a street from a car in Muzaffarnagar. According to visuals captured by CCTV footage, the woman leaned out of the car's window and placed the baby on the corner of the lane.

In wake of the grave incident, CMO Muzaffarnagar said that the newborn is being treated. "The new-born is under treatment but her condition remains critical. We are hopeful of her recovery."

Earlier this week, a father kissed his three-day-old child on the head before abandoning it in a church in Kerala. As per details by the Police, the 32-year-old feared being publicly shamed for having a fourth child. The incident came to light after it was captured on CCTV and aired on local TV channels in the south-eastern Indian state.

On Wednesday, in a similar incident,  an abandoned newborn was rescued by the Bengaluru police. The infant was then breastfed by a lady constable, and finally named after the new Karnataka Chief Minister.
