Two infants found crying near parcel office at Ujjain railway station; police search for woman

Two small children were found alone near the parcel office at Ujjain railway station on Saturday morning. One was a girl of about one and a half to two years, and the other a boy aged six to seven months. Both were lying on the ground near an auto-rickshaw, crying.

On hearing the children crying, an auto-rickshaw driver informed the police. The Railway Protection Force (RPF) reached the spot and took the two children into safe custody. They were then handed over to the Government Railway Police (GRP). Manish Bairagi, the head of the Matrichhaya organisation, was then called, and the children were placed in his care.

It is suspected that an unidentified woman left the two children there during the night. Police searched the surrounding area and questioned people, but the woman could not be traced.

Police are now going through footage from CCTV cameras installed around the railway station and the parcel office. They are trying to identify the children's parents and the woman who left them.
