Delhi Court Convicts Parents for Abandoning Premature Infant in Hospital
A Delhi court convicted Hareena Ray and Jeetu Kumar for abandoning their premature, medically vulnerable infant at Deen Dayal Upadhyay Hospital in 2014. The court ruled that leaving the child in the hospital with the intention to wholly abandon her constituted an offense under IPC Section 317. Despite the hospital's efforts to contact them, the parents did not return, and the infant was later placed in care where she died. The court rejected the defense that leaving the child in medical care was not abandonment.
