A four-day-old baby girl has been rescued after she was found buried alive in a cemetery in northern India
The infant was pulled to safety by an unsuspecting couple in Uttar Pradesh state on October 10, as they were burying their own child who had died in hospital."When they began digging the ground, they immediately heard noises of crying. As they dug up two to three feet of dirt, they found a baby girl who had been buried in an earthen pot," Abhinandan Singh, Superintendent of Police for Bareilly district, told CNN.
Singh said the area where the baby was buried was"quite isolated," and believed she was buried for about four to six hours before she was rescued. An investigation has been launched to locate her parents, who could be charged with attempt to murder and abandoning a child, Singh added.Gender inequality is pervasive in India, where a preference for sons has given rise to the birth of millions of"unwanted" girls who often face discrimination in their communities.
