Alappuzha: Police have launched a detailed investigation after a foetus was recovered from the Alappuzha–Dhanbad Express. The cleaning staff found the foetus, wrapped in newspaper, inside the waste bin of the S3 coach toilet when the train halted at Alappuzha railway station on August 14. They immediately alerted the Railway Protection Force.

Doctors confirmed that the foetus was around three to four months old.

During the inspection, police also found blood stains on a seat in the S4 coach of the same train. A forensic examination will be conducted to confirm whether the blood traces are linked to the recovered foetus.

Investigators have started collecting details of passengers who travelled in both the S3 and S4 coaches. Officials said all of them will be questioned as part of the probe.
