The body of a two-year-old girl was found near the railway tracks between Kanjurmarg and Bhandup stations in eastern suburban Mumbai today, railway police said.
Police suspect that her family members may have thrown her from the moving train on Sunday morning because the girl was an unwanted child.
Government Railway Police (GRP) officials received a call from a passenger on Sunday at around 2:30 pm, about seeing a girl lying in the weeds near the central railway slow track between two stations. GRP officials reached the spot and sent her body to the nearby civic-run Rajawadi Hospital for postmortem.
The postmortem conducted by Rajawadi Hospital stated in its report that the girl is two-year-old and died due to severe head injuries early on Sunday morning. Also, one-and-a-half-inch skin of her forehead, which was missing, was eaten by a rat present at the spot, the report stated. u00a0
