Newborn, covered in blood-soaked paper, recovered from plane's toilet bin: Report
New Delhi/IBNS: A newborn baby, covered in blood-soaked toilet paper, was found abandoned in the trash bin of a plane's washroom, media reports said.
The baby was rescued by officers who were on inspection.
A 20-year-old woman from Madagascar, suspected of having given birth on the Air Mauritius plane, which landed at Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport on Jan 1, was arrested in connection with the matter, reported the BBC.
The baby is reported to be doing well.
"Airport officers spotted the child when they screened the plane for a routine customs check," reported Cities Newsroom.
"They noticed that there was blood-stained toilet paper, and rushed the baby to a public hospital for treatment, '' it said.
"The suspected mother, who initially denied the boy was hers, was made to undergo a medical examination which confirmed that she had just given birth," the BBC said in its report.
