New Delhi: A six-day-old baby was hospitalised in a critical condition on Monday after she, wrapped in a thin cloth, was found abandoned on a road here to die, with police clueless about her parents. The baby was admitted in the ICU of Babu Jagjivan Hospital in Model Town area of north Delhi where doctors said her condition was still serious.

Police said they were informed about the baby by locals and staff of G.D. Goenka School in the neighbourhood. "It appears that someone had left the baby during the night near the school. She had suffered from cold and was hoarsely crying when spotted by the locals and the school staff," a police officer told IANS.
