- A toddler was left with a shopper by an unknown man.
- The man disappeared, leaving a note of abandonment.

A distressing incident unfolded at Bengaluru's KR Market recently when a woman was unexpectedly left with a toddler. While shopping on April 9, a man approached the woman, handed her his one-and-a-half-year-old child, and claimed he would return shortly after collecting luggage. He then vanished.
After waiting in vain, the woman and her sister took the child to the City Market police station. Upon examining the child, officers discovered a note tied around his neck. This message revealed the man's deliberate intention to abandon the young boy. Police have since ensured the child's safety by arranging for a medical examination and placing him in the care of Shishu Mandir.
A case has been registered under BNS Section 93 for the exposure and abandonment of a child under 12 years of age. Authorities are actively analyzing CCTV footage from the area in an effort to identify and locate the man responsible for this act.
