Vijayapura: The tremors were reported at several places in the district here between 2.25 am and 2.30 am on Sunday June 13.
The earthquake was experienced in Gyangbavadi area, Kallakavatagi, Lohagaon, Arkeri, and surrounding villages of the Tikota taluk.
It is reported that the fearful residents ran out of their houses and stayed out until morning.
The infant was not born in the hospital as umbilical cord had not been cut off during childbirth. It is suspected that perhaps the child was born elsewhere and was discarded near the hospital. A case has been registered at the Hanur police station. “The CCTV footage is being looked into and the case is under investigation,” said police inspector Santosh Kashyap.
