The police are hunting for the young mother who dumped the baby at Ciwidig Beach, Cidaun District, Cianjur. The police also visited a number of clinics and practiced maternity midwives in the area.

Cidaun Police Chief Iptu Yudi Heryanadi said his party had pocketed the identity of the perpetrator because he had time to go back and forth to one of the bathrooms at a south coast tourist spot on Wednesday, September 25.

"Officers visited every existing midwife or midwife clinic to get information whether a woman had previously been treated in a bleeding condition, including asking for witness statements at the location of the discovery," he said.

Yudi said that the mother of the thrower of a baby boy was arrested in the bathroom and stored in a used plastic bag to reveal the motive behind the dumping of the alleged premature baby.

"After the perpetrator is identified, the motive behind the baby's disposal can be ascertained, the identity has been pocketed by witness testimony at the location of the discovery. Currently, the baby is in good health, deposited at the Cidaun Health Center," he said.

Meanwhile, information from eyewitnesses Fikri (20), a resident of Ciwidig, said that he had seen a woman wearing a green negligee riding an automatic motorbike back and forth in a public toilet in front of a mosque on Ciwidig Beach, Wednesday evening.

The woman, who is estimated to be around 18-20 years old, had brought a number of items in a white plastic bag and jacket into the bathroom, a few moments out and leaving the location without carrying luggage.

"I didn't suspect when I was about to take a shower, I found a white bag still in the bathroom for fear of anything. I told the residents who brought the bag to the mosque area," he said.

Fikri only found out that the bag contained a baby who was still red with the umbilical cord still attached to the pink jacket, after it was opened with local residents, so residents immediately reported the matter to the police.

"If you look at his face, he often comes to Ciwidig Beach, but I don't know his name and address. If I look again I will definitely recognize his face," said Fikri.
