Every now and then we come across incidences of immense cruelty that break our belief in humanity. But thanks to a Mumbai man who made us feel that all is not lost and humanity is still alive. In a heartwarming gesture, Aman, a Mumbaikar, saved the life of an infant who was abandoned by her parents in an autorickshaw. For being a good Samaritan, he is being hailed by Mumbai Police as well.
While talking to a leading daily, Aman narrated how he came across the infant.
I and my brother were out for a walk last night in our society when we heard the sound of cry near dustbins kept on the roadside. Initially, we thought it might be a kitten or some injured animal, but upon a closer look we found an infant left alone in an autorickshaw.
Aman, who works for a logistics company, further added,
The infant was shivering. I tried calling up police, but his call couldn’t get through. Meanwhile, I picked up the infant, took her picture and posted them on social media seeking help.

The police arrived at the spot after ten minutes and the infant was taken to a hospital. A police official at the Kanjurmarg Police Station said that footages from CCTV cameras installed in that area are being scanned to find the identity of those who had abandoned the newborn in an autorickshaw.
The Mumbai Police have thanked Sharma for his humanitarian gesture. The city police took to Twitter and hailed his efforts.

Very very sad!
I am extremely proud of you for taking notice and doing right thing though!
I hope they find the parents if possible @MumbaiPolice thank you so much for responding!— Dhruv (@DhruvrajCFC) November 19, 2017
Great job! I’d still suggest involving some trusted child-welfare NGO to track the baby’s well-being. Will check in a bit and let you know the right NGO for this purpose.

The baby is going through some medical tests. I’ll update you as soon as I get any information about her. @MumbaiPolice is doing great job. They have provided two female constables to take care of the baby.

Sadly this is not the first incident where a newborn was abandoned in Mumbai. Several cases go unreported while only handful case come to light. Such a case was reported earlier in August this year wherein a month-old infant was rescued by a couple on the tetrapods at Marine Drive.
This man is a hero! 🙂
