A 25-year-old medical student has been arrested in Northern India after attempting to flush her newborn baby down the toilet.
The woman was flying home from Turkmenistan when she gave birth in the bathroom. Upon landing, she left the plane, leaving the baby in the toilet.
The entire toilet had to be removed, and surgeons at a local hospital used a saw to remove the newborn from it. According to doctors, the baby is in critical condition.
The mother was arrested in the airport and has been transferred to a local hospital where she was reunited with her baby.
Once doctors declare her fit, they’ll investigate her motives, but it appears she had been studying medicine in Belarus and did not want to return home with a baby.
