MALDA, Nov. 15: The English Bazaar police today rescued a five-month-old abandoned male baby from Ramchandrapur village. The baby has been admitted to the Malda district hospital. The Malda SDO, Ms Arunima De, said the matter has been brought to the notice of the district social welfare department. She said efforts are on to shift the baby to a home for better care. “Officials of the DSWO have been requested to begin legal process for the adoption of the baby. Already, locals as well as some policemen are interested to adopt the baby”, Ms De, said. Hiralal Rishi, a resident of Ramchandrapur village, heard the baby’s cry this morning. He immediately took the baby to his house. Sakuntala Rishi, Hiralal’s sister, reportedly expressed her desire to adopt the baby and consulted the sisters of Missionaries of Charity. The sisters suggested her to inform the police first. The Malda SP, Mr DK Mondal, said all police stations of the district have been asked to identify the baby’s parents. “It is not yet clear whether the baby was abandoned or stolen. The inquiry is on,” Mr Mondal, said. Since the baby was wearing nice dresses and ornaments, the police have not ruled out the possibility of kidnapping.
