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."The baby had some infections and weighed only 1.5 kilograms ," said Alka Sgarna, a medical superintendent who oversaw her treatment, told CNN.

The girl, who is currently receiving treatment in the hospital's intensive care unit , had various respiratory issues and requires a ventilator, Sgarna said. 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.

Poor baby. Very sad.

Poor little one. So glad she will be saved and loved by someone

I hate this world.

Female children are abandoned regularly in India if not first aborted. Male children are favoured: mysoginy at its worst.

Horrific

Was the picture really necessary? Seems like a violation of the baby privacy.
