CST railway police found a six-month-old infant abandoned in the second class ladies compartment of a CST-bound Ambernath local train on Sunday. The baby boy was admitted to St George Hospital for treatment.

Police officials said that on Sunday morning, around 10.35 am, a woman commuter informed the CST station master that she had found a baby abandoned in the train.
The railway police then rushed to the ladies compartment and found the infant sleeping on one of the seats. "We then rushed the child to the hospital where he was admitted to the paediatric ward," said inspector Shashank Shinde, CST railway police station.

"We have deployed a female constable to take care of the baby while he is recuperating in the hospital."
