A newborn girl was found abandoned in Bhopal, leading to the arrest of Firdosh Khan, a nurse, under charges of abandonment and culpable homicide after the infant's death. The baby was connected to a 14-year-old mother, and ongoing investigations are revealing more about the case.

In a heart-wrenching discovery, a newborn baby girl was found abandoned in a sack in the Aishbagh locality of Bhopal. Despite being rushed to the hospital, the infant tragically succumbed during treatment, according to police reports on Thursday.
