A case of foeticide that shocked society recently 

This is not the first time that infanticide or foeticide has raised concerns for the safety of newborns. Last year, in December, a team of health officials found a 22-week-old female foetus in the dustbin of a private hospital in Karnataka.

The hospital's owner-cum-doctor, Srinivasa, was arrested along with two nurses, a housekeeping staff, and a technician. The SG Hospital in Bengaluru Rural district was sealed to conduct an investigation to trace more details about all the illegal abortions that the hospital facilitated. So far the police have found eight records of foeticides by Srinivasa since 2022.
