New twist to story of baby handed over to Mysuru man in Raichur bus stand

Inquiries by the Mysuru police revealed that the woman who reportedly handed over the baby in Raichur bus stand, was in a relationship with the man. The woman had differences with her husband

The ‘story’ of a woman handing over a baby to a young man from Mysuru at Raichur bus stand has taken a new turn with the Mysuru police booking cases against both the man and the woman.

About a fortnight ago, the young man Raghu had arrived in Mysuru bus stand with a seven-month-old baby boy, claiming that an unidentified woman had handed over the toddler to him at Raichur bus stand asking him to look after the baby till she returned from the toilet.

Raghu is from H.D. Kote in Mysuru district.

Further, he claimed that he brought the baby to Mysuru with him when the woman did not return even after three hours.

When the matter was reported to Lashkar police station, the baby was produced before the Child Welfare Committee (CWC) of Mysuru district and sent to the government-recognised adoption centre in Mandya.

Some days later, a woman from Yadgir arrived in Mysuru and claimed to be the mother of the baby. Her husband, reported a painter, appeared before the CWC in Mysuru and sought custody of the baby.

While the CWC in Mysuru sought to transfer the case to CWC in Yadgir, inquiries by the Mysuru police revealed that the woman who reportedly handed over the baby in Raichur bus stand, and Raghu were in a relationship. The woman had differences with her husband.
