The starving one-year-old son was clinging to the woman’s body by tracks in Madhya Pradesh’s Damoh. On Wednesday morning, the woman’s body was spotted by people in Damoh, around 250 km from state capital Bhopal.
Her starving one-year-old son was clinging to her, weeping, trying to nudge her awake. He also nibbled on a biscuit, given perhaps by his mother.
The scene was filmed and posted on social media by a few people at the spot.
The police suspect the woman may have fallen off a train or was hit. She had a head wound. The baby was saved because his mother held him, it is believed. According to officials, she may have been conscious for a while after being hit and tried to feed her son.
When the police and officials took away the mother, the child’s wailing left them shaken to the core.
The infant is at a children’s home. Officials are trying to search for any family member or relative.
The only clue that the police have in their attempts at identifying the woman is a purse that was found beside her.
