The Pune police on Thursday arrested a couple for abandoning their 3-month-old child at a church and informing their family that the child had died. Police officials said that the couple, parents of a 5-year-old child who are well educated were bailed out on the same day by the court.

According to a report in Hindustan Times, the incident came to light when a passer-by found the baby near a church in Khadki on Tuesday early morning and handed it over to the police.
