Udupi, Sep 17: A three-month-old baby died under strange circumstance on the morning of September 15 at Bandashale near Padur of Shirva.
Sanvi, daughter of Hanumanthamma is the baby child who died while she was being breastfed by her mother. Hanumanthamma works as a domestic help in one of the houses in Padur. She was breastfeeding her baby when the lady owner of the house asked Hanumanthamma to give meals to her. Hanumanthamma suddenly left the baby and went to the kitchen in order to serve the meal to her owner lady.
It is learnt that the baby cried in a loud voice as soon as Hanumanthamma left her and did not give any response and its head got tilted to one side. Though the baby was rushed immediately to Ajjarakadu district hospital, the doctors said that the baby is already breathed its last.
It is suspected that the baby would have choked as the mother suddenly stopped feeding. A case in this connection is registered in the Shirva police station.
