Newborns burned in Bihar has become a shocking headline across the state. The news of newborns burned in Bihar spread quickly after people in Samastipur found the half-burnt bodies of two babies near a roadside garbage heap. Morning walkers noticed them first and immediately informed others. A crowd soon gathered, horrified by what they saw.
CCTV footage from the area shows a man throwing a lit lighter at the newborns after dumping them near the garbage pile. The cold weather stopped the fire from spreading, but both babies lost their lives. Locals believe this cruel act was done to hide an illegal abortion performed at a nearby nursing home.
People in the area grew angry, not only at the crime but also at the slow response from the police. Residents said they informed the police early, yet no officer reached the spot for hours. Finally, people covered the bodies themselves.
Officials later said that a detailed investigation has been ordered. CCTV cameras in nearby areas will be checked to identify the person responsible. Authorities also promised strict action against any illegal clinics involved. The incident has raised serious questions about safety, law enforcement, and humanity.
