MALDA, Nov. 17: English Bazaar Police have arrested the parents of a male baby, who was rescued from Ramchandrapur village on Wednesday, and produced them in the court today. The parents of the baby were arrested on charges of abandoning the baby under Section 317 of the IPC, Malda SP Mr DK Mondal said. Mother of the baby, Sarama Choudhury, confessed before police that they wanted to save the life of their five-month old “abnormal” son. “Since it needed a huge amount of money to save his life, we had no other option but to leave the baby in front of the Missionaries of Charity at Ramchandrapur. We thought that only Mother Teresa could save his life,” Sarama Choudhury, told police. “A specialist doctor in Kolkata told them that nearly Rs 2.5 lakh would be required for a brain operation of the baby,” the SP, said. The poor couple told the police that it was not possible for them to bear the cost of their child’s treatment. The baby has been admitted to the Malda District Hospital for treatment.
