No immediate details regarding the child’s identity or cause of death were available. Authorities said efforts are underway to identify the suspect with the help of CCTV footage from nearby areas. Police added that further action would be taken once forensic and post-mortem reports are received. An investigation has been initiated to determine the circumstances surrounding the incident.
