Battered child undergoes second surgery, still critical condition

The two-year-old baby who was battered admitted at the trauma centre at AIIMS underwent another life saving surgery on Monday even as the Police spread the net to locate a man who had adopted the baby and gave her to a teenaged girl for upkeep.

Police also questioned a woman who got the baby from her biological mother, and later handed her over to Rajkumar alias Dilshad aged 28 years, who left the baby with his minor girlfriend before leaving to Mumbai for the treatment of his children.

The baby was admitted to AIIMS with severe injuries and is battling for life after the teenaged girl admitted her into the hospital. The teenager was looking after the baby after Rajkumar left to Mumbai leaving behind the child in her custody.

Though investigators traced him to his in-law's house, Mr. Rajkumar managed to slip out of police net in Mumbai after his friends gave him clue about the same.

After 12 days of her treatment, doctor's said that the child's codition is not yet improved much and she had to be put back on ventilator in the wee hours of the day.

Doctors were compelled to carry out the surgery in the afternoon after investigations revealed water accumulation in her brain.

This was the second surgery the little child was undergoing  after she was brought to hospital on January 18, 2012.
