Mangalore, Nov 12: It was less than a fortnight ago that a baby was found abandoned in a drainage in Kanyana, Bantwal. On Friday November 12 night another baby was found abandoned in garbage at the dumpyard near Pachanady here.
However, unlike in the former case, this baby was found dead.
The matter came to light on Friday night when the garbage was being unloaded by a dumping lorry (KA 19 B 7266). The sex of the baby cannot be ascertained as the body has decomposed already.
This is the second such incident to have taken place in the city in less than a fortnight. In the earlier case, a girl baby was found alive in a drainage and rescued by one Monappa Shetty.
People who gathered at the spot were furious as authorities did not visit the spot even after being informed about the incident.
