A newborn girl, just 15 days old, faced a horrific fate in Shahjahanpur, Uttar Pradesh. On Sunday, she was buried alive in Godapur village. A villager noticed her tiny hand in the soil. Her faint cries pierced the silence. He alerted the police.
Officers arrived swiftly. They unearthed the infant from a shallow grave. She was alive, struggling to breathe. They rushed her to a nearby hospital. She was later transferred to the Government Medical College. In the ICU, a dedicated doctor monitors her critical condition.
This act reveals a grim reality. Female infanticide, rooted in patriarchal disdain, endangers countless girls. The perpetrators remain at large.
