“When my wife woke up in the morning, she heard a baby crying. Then we rescued her from the toilet. She is now doing well. But we will take her to the hospital. We suspect someone might have left her in the toilet at night,” said Dhaneswar. 

“My sister-in-law (brother’s wife) has rescued the baby. It was shivering in the cold. My sister-in-law took her into the house, fed her, and took all possible care,” said Kanhu Garada.
