The incident came to light on Wednesday, when one if the trustees who was at the burial ground heard a baby cry and figured something amiss. He then alerted the police who arrested 35-year-old Bharati Rani and her husband Dinesh Kumar. Also arrested is Dinesh's brother who was with the couple at the burial ground.

Bharati has reportedly told the police she was burying the child on the advice of a godman after he told her that this would protect the rest of her children from serious illnesses in the future. The couple had allegedly lost a child to an incurable illness last year. So on Wednesday, the three reached the burial ground with the baby who was saved by the alert trustee.


The police however have not been able to trace the godman yet.

Tengnoupal, Jan 21: A woman IPS officer has alleged that a rifleman of Assam Rifles physically assaulted and molested her at a check post near Moreh town in Manipur's Tengnoupal district, police said on Tuesday.

Based on a written complaint of the IPS officer, an FIR has been registered against rifleman P K Pandey and a summon has been issued to him to appear before the concerned police station, the police said.

Manipur DGP L M Khaute told reporters on Monday, "We have made contacts with the Assam Rifles authorities. A complaint has been lodged by the officer." In her complaint, the IPS officer said that on reaching Khudengtabi check post on Sunday afternoon one of her escorts, who was not in uniform, told the frisking party of Assam Rifles to register their entry.

Despite showing their identity cards, the rifleman allegedly detained them, she said.

"We offered to search ourselves and the vehicle, but he was not interested", she said.

The rifleman began hitting the official vehicle and "misbehaved, humiliated, harassed and assaulted me and my escort personnel," she alleged.

The IPS officer also alleged that the rifleman molested her and when her escorts tried to intervene, he thrashed them.

She further accused the rifleman of making "sexually coloured" remarks against her, using abusive language and even tried to snatch her phone when she tried to call her senior officers.

The issue was brought under control after the matter was reported to the Brigadier of 26th Assam Rifles and the Major of the D-company of 12th AR, police said.
