In New Delhi a two-year-old baby battling for life joined in AIIMS with serious head injuries, crippled arms and cardiac arrest as the doctors who attended the baby said that the chances of survival of the baby is 50 percent however it will be helpless for life.

As doctors said on January 18 the baby was brought to us in a mangled and beaten up state.Infact the babies head was severely smashed, the baby had crippled arms and the bite marks all over her body and her cheeks were branded with hot iron.A 15 year-old-girl who brought the baby mentioned the cause of the existing state of the baby is due to her falling of from the bed which could not be believed said by Dr M. C. Misra, chief of Jai Prakash Narayan AIIMS Trauma Centre.

"Since she has got bite marks all over her body we have asked our gynaecologist to carry out test for sexual abuse when she has recovered," he said.

The two-year-old, who is at the neurosurgery ICU of the AIIMS trauma centre, is on ventilator support and has had two cardiac arrests in the past few days, said Dr Deepak Aggarwal, a neurosurgeon there, who is looking into her case.

"Her chances of survival are fifty-fifty. If she did she will be dependent for the rest of her life because her brain has suffered permanent damage," he said.

The teenaged girl who brought the child to the hospital and claimed to be her mother told hospital authorities that the baby who is now on ventilator support, was injured in a fall from the bed.

Dr Misra said, "The claims made by the girl who brought this child to us do not match with the injuries seen on the child's body. So we immediately informed the police.

He said the teenaged girl was brought to the child welfare committee.And we were been told that the girl was sent to preadult home.As the babies parents yet not detectable.
