Autopsy to determine cause of infant's death
The police were informed right after locals detected the body, which was later carefully removed from the grill and subsequently transferred to Faridabad's Badshah Khan Civil Hospital for an autopsy. The main focus of the autopsy is to determine whether the baby was killed intentionally before or if the unfortunate death occurred as a result of the impact.

Some are even calling for the death penalty for those found guilty. A probe is underway into the matter, and police are also reviewing nearby CCTV footage to identify and locate those responsible for the heinous crime.
