Hulu Selangor police chief Arsad Kamaruddin said police received a report on the discovery from a 33-year-old man who came across the baby at 9.49am yesterday.

“Checks by a medical officer found the girl to be healthy and there were no animal bite marks,” he said in a statement today.

Arsad said investigations were ongoing to trace those involved in abandoning the infant and that the case was being investigated under Section 317 of the Penal Code for concealing the birth of a child and intentionally dumping the baby.

A 53-second video has gone viral on social media showing the baby on the sofa.
