Police have released her photograph to see if she is a native of neighboring Maharashtra or Telangana.
Bangalore:
The identity of the two-year-old girl found last week in Karnataka’s Belagavi remains a mystery even though the police have launched a massive search operation. Some farmers wrapped it in a piece of cloth and left it in the sugarcane field.
The girl, found on September 24 in Halyal village of Belagavi in northern Karnataka, had several burn marks, especially cigarette butt marks, even on her private parts. However, preliminary investigation did not reveal any sexual harassment.
According to police sources, the pattern of burn marks indicates black magic. Medical examination also found traces of chemicals found on her wounds, confirming the presence of ingredients commonly used in black magic.
The girl is now undergoing treatment at the Belagavi District Hospital and has regained consciousness, but she is unable to give an account of the incident due to her age. Police have provided his photograph, which will be widely shared in Karnataka and border states such as Maharashtra and Telangana for his identification.
They are collecting information about missing children of his age from neighboring districts and states, but no progress has been made so far.
“He is yet to be identified,” said Belagavi Superintendent of Police Laxman Nimbargi, who is personally monitoring the case.
