“We have discussed (about the baby) with the CM. I am not going to adopt her (Falak) but we as a government-aided commission will help her and will keep her in ‘Nirmal Chhaya’ or ‘Palna’,” said Singh.
“There are so many people who want to adopt the child. We can give her to them,” she added.
Singh further said that Diskhit is willing to pay the baby’s medical bills from the CM Relief Fund.

Falak was admitted to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) Jan 18 with multiple injuries, including a fractured skull, a clot on the right side of her brain, and human bite marks on her tiny frame.
The baby continues to be critical, but has shown some progress, doctors said.
