Further investigation focused on the envelope that covered the baby that fell on the road.
The police reached the fifth floor of the flat after checking the address on the envelope where the products were purchased from Amazon. Only then did the girl’s parents come to know about the incident. The approximate picture emerged from the questioning of the young woman. The woman’s statement is that she did not tell her parents about her pregnancy and the act was done due to the mental tension caused by this. The woman told the police that she got pregnant from a friend she met through Instagram and that her family did not know about it.
