Gurugram, Dec. 28 -- Health department officials have initiated an inquiry after an infant boy, born to a 15-year-old rape victim, was discovered without an attendant or documents at a private hospital near Basai Chowk on Friday, raising trafficking suspicions. The Gurugram Child Welfare Committee (CWC) has directed the civil hospital to explain by Monday how the newborn, delivered there on December 16, reached the private facility. The roles of two Asha workers are under scrutiny, police said. According to investigators, the minor, a Class VII student from Kadipur, Sector-10, was repeatedly raped by a 34-year-old former neighbour. She gave birth at the civil hospital on December 16; a case was registered the next day and the suspect arrested and remanded to judicial custody. The victim was discharged, while her newborn was retained for care and adoption processing. Usha Rani, chairperson of the Gurugram CWC, stated the victim's father, during counselling, expressed a desire for adoption to avoid social stigma. However, she said, "the father returned to the civil hospital a couple of days later, completed the discharge formalities and took the infant with him. The child was later found at a private hospital without any admission documents or an attendant, which prima facie gives the impression that attempts may have been made to traffic the infant by misleading the victim's father." Hospital officials clarified the legal position: "Until the surrender deed is executed by the parents, they continue to be the legal guardians of the newborn and are legally entitled to seek discharge and take the child home." The private hospital owner, Dr. Shyam Singh, alerted police. A senior officer noted a woman impersonated the infant's mother there, stating, "The role of some employees, including two Asha workers at the civil hospital and those at the private hospital, is under the scanner." The infant is back at the civil hospital being treated for jaundice, police said. Under standard protocol, infants born from rape cases are moved to child care centres and listed for adoption only after parents execute a surrender deed, legally handing the child over to the government....
