NEW DELHI: A baby girl found buried alive in India was a suspected case of female infanticide, police said on Monday, the latest to highlight the preference for sons in a country where the number of girls has been declining.

“Their spade hit the pot and they heard a baby’s cries coming from it,” the officer told the Thomson Reuters Foundation on the condition of anonymity as he was not authorised to speak to the media. The baby was rushed to a nearby hospital, where she is recovering, he said. Police are looking for the parents.

It showed that India’s gender ratio, or the number of females per 1,000 males, was 896 in the period of 2015-17, down from 898 in 2014-16 and 900 in 2013-15. The number was 943 in the last census of 2011.
