The 108 emergency team instantly reached the spot and provided first-aid to the infant who suffered over twenty deep cuts. They later admitted her to the hospital where she is kept under observation.

Meanwhile, the police suspect that the four-day-old infant girl was dumped by her parents and was later mauled by dogs. It is unlikely that dogs got hold of the infant unless she was dumped in open.

A case has been registered and a hunt is on to find her parents.

Further investigation into the matter is underway.
