At a time when a major portion of the internet is full of news and incidents about crimes that make us question the existence of humanity, this incident from yesterday gives us a ray of hope.

He tweeted that he found the baby and did not know what to do with her.The baby was a 3-5 day old girl abandoned by her parents in an auto rickshaw. Aman found her and immediately shared about the incident on Twitter.

The baby was wrapped in a blanket when Aman found her and was shivering with cold, but was fine after some time, as tweeted by Aman.
People suggested him to call the Mumbai Police, however, Aman had already tried that and didn’t receive any response from the other side.
