Residents alerted the police when they found a foetus in a cardboard box inside a toilet in Shirur Agasi of Bagalkot on Friday.
The police suspected it to be a case of infanticide.
The foetus was of a male infant. It was not fully developed, however.
“Some people kept it here and fled the scene,” the police said. A case has been registered.
