However, she could have done two things --
1. Left a phone number (she still had her mobile with her) with the chai galla person or someone permanent at the bus-stop -- just in case.
2. Informed the police and told them that the baby will be in her care and to contact her if there was some issue (if she was scared of the baby going to an anathashram). I dont think the police would forcibly keep the baby in the station and forcibly drop off to an anaath ashram if ichcha professed a desire to be care taker of the child until parents are found.
I have no issues with ichcha picking up the baby. What I disliked was her trying to pass off the baby as the dying man's grand daughter so that the baby can inherit a name and money. This was wrong in every sense of the term and deceitful.
Finally, I also feel that before veer and ichcha adopt muktha -- a newspaper ad must be placed in all newspapers that describes the circumstances of finding the baby on the rainy night near the chai galla. So that there is an attempt made to find the real parents.
Ichcha has just made an assumption that someone dumped the child because it was a girl ... but really it can be exactly the situation shown in uttaran -- that someone kidnapped a child because of its jewellery (small gold bangles, chains etc.) and then abandoned it -- or kidnapped it because of some ransom desire but then chickened out and abandonend it after getting scared.
Particularly after Mukta is growing up -- it is obvious that the child belongs to a well-to-do family -- just look at the bone structure of Muktha and the facial structure-- this is a very hatta khatta baby with a very regal face structure. This is obvious even at 8 or 9 months old.
