Newborn baby strangulated to death in UP

A newborn baby was allegedly strangulated to death with a plastic rope and the body was thrown on a mound of garbage in Nagla Shekhu area, police said today.
The body, which was recovered by the villagers yesterday, was found in a black polythene bag with a plastic rope around its neck and its right foot was eaten by some animal, they said.
"I remember the day Harsha was born. Her parents were on
top of the world as well as my team. Now that the test tube baby has delivered a healthy baby weighing 3.18 kilos, what can be more awesome than this," said Dr Hinduja, who got the Maharashtra Kanya Gaurav Puraskar yesterday by a social organisation here for her contribution in her field.

"Since the day Harsha was born, she and her family members became a part of our lives, sharing every occasion and achievement. It was but a natural decision that she chose us to deliver her baby," she said.
Remembering Harsha's birth, the doctor said, "I can recall very accurately even now. A tuberculosis infection had damaged Harsha's mother Mani Chawda's fallopian tubes. Harsha's parents, in their 20s and desperate to have a child, had approached Dr Hinduja at Parel's K E M Hospital. Her both tubes were choked, that killed the chances of her to become a mother. But she desperately wanted a child."

"Hence we had two options. Either we open the tubes through surgery or go for IVF, which was in experimental mode in those days. I chose IVF and Harsha was born with this technique," she said.

Sharing his joy at the birth of their child, Harsha's husband Divyapal Shah, an accountant by profession, said, "We are on cloud nine. These are the best days of our life. Our son born on the auspicious day of 'Shivratri' has added reasons to rejoice it."
To a question if he was sceptic about marrying a woman born through IVF, Shah, who tied the knot with Harsha last year, replied, "No not at all. I was very confident of leading a normal life with a normal woman and today I am the happiest person."

"Now we both are waiting for the doctor's call to discharge her and my son from the hospital to go home," he added.
