BONGAIGAON: The body of an 18-day-old baby boy was found in pond water under mysterious circumstances near his residence in Assam's Bongaigaon district today.

The deceased baby was the son of Binoy Sutradhar, a resident of Nankargaon (Village) under Bidyapur Police Outpost in Bongaigaon.

The baby had gone missing late Thursday night.

According to the baby's mother, the baby was kidnapped by some unidentified miscreants while both mother and the baby were fast asleep.

A missing report has also been filed at the Bongaigaon police station.

However, the baby was later found dead in pond water about 50-100 meters away from his home around 12 pm today.

The body was first spotted by a local.

Later the body was discovered in the presence of Bangaigaon Sadar Police, and Bidyapur Police.

Meanwhile, visiting the scene, Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) of Bongaigaon Police Station, Luna Sonowal, said, "An investigation into the matter is underway; however, it would not be appropriate to make any specific comment, because the condition of the mother of the baby is not good and she has been admitted to a local hospital." We will interrogate her once she recovers, but the investigation will continue until then."

Locals, on the other hand, have demanded that the perpetrators be apprehended as soon as possible and that stern action be taken against them, or they will be forced to stage a protest against the inhuman act.
