Kushtagi: In a shocking incident, a prematurely born foetus was found floating in a drain in Tavaragera town near here on Saturday.
The baby was found with its umbilical cord intact, floating in the drain near the Town Cooperative Bank in the 10th Ward of the town. Police were alerted of the shocking development by the locals.
According to sources, the baby was delivered preterm, after a gestation period of 4 to 5 months. The gender of the baby could not be ascertained due to the premature development, they added.

Later the last rites were performed by the town panchayat.
