The concerned youth and his friend took the child to the nearby government hospital where she is currently being examined.

The child is expected to be kept overnight at the hospital and will be placed in the care of Child Protective Services.

Hospital authorities have said that they have given thermal warming to the child so it does not get sick from the cold.

They have also informed the local police who are expected to visit soon to initiate an inquiry into the matter.
