Four-Month-Old Baby Found Dead in a Well Under Mysterious Circumstances in Kannur

Kannur, Kerala, March 18 – In a tragic and puzzling incident, a four-month-old baby girl who was sleeping with her parents went missing from her home in Pappinisseri, Kannur, on Monday night. Hours later, she was found dead in a well near the house, police said on Tuesday.

As per agency report which quoted the statement given by the child's father, the baby was sleeping in the house's hall along with her parents and the daughters of his brothers around 9:30 PM on Monday. At around 11 PM, the baby’s mother woke up and found her missing. She immediately alerted her husband, and the family began searching for the child within the house and nearby areas.

During the search, the baby was discovered in a well near the house. She was rushed to the hospital, but doctors declared that she had died before arrival. The family informed the police about the incident at around 4 AM on Tuesday.

A case has been registered under Section 174(1) of the Indian Penal Code to investigate the suspicious death. Authorities are conducting further inquiries to determine how the child ended up in the well.

This tragic incident bears a chilling resemblance to another case from January this year, when a two-year-old girl went missing while sleeping with her parents in Balramapuram, Thiruvananthapuram. She was later found dead in a well near the house. Investigations in that case led to the arrest of her maternal uncle, who confessed to the crime.

The mysterious circumstances surrounding the latest incident have raised concerns, and the police are actively probing all possible angles, including foul play.
