A human fetus was found hanging from overhead electrical wires here on Friday, police said.

The fetus was suspended approximately 20 feet above the ground near the Keshavpur power substation behind Platform-2 of the Sahjanwa railway station, they said.

After locals spotted the fetus entangled in the wires, they immediately alerted the police.

Police officials retrieved the fetus and sent it for a post-mortem examination.
