Haripad, Alappuzha, A 19-year-old unmarried woman who came to Haripad Government Hospital complaining of stomach pain delivered a baby in the toilet and allegedly threw the infant out of the window early Tuesday, police said.
What happened:
Denied examination: The woman approached doctors for stomach pain but refused physical examination. This raised suspicion she might be pregnant, a doctor said.
Birth in toilet :While under observation, she went to the toilet multiple times. Doctors heard a faint cry shortly after she entered. Growing suspicious, staff searched and found the newborn outside the toilet window.
Rescue from dogs: The baby had fallen into an area where *stray dogs were roaming. Hospital staff spotted the newborn after hearing cries and rescued it immediately. Doctors said even a slight delay could have endangered the baby’s life.
Both safe: Timely intervention by the night-duty medical team saved the baby. Mother and child were shifted to Government Medical College Hospital, Alappuzha. The newborn is in ICU but out of danger.
Police case: Haripad police have registered a case. The incident occurred in the early hours of Tuesday. The woman reportedly threw the infant outside right after birth.
Similar incidents have been reported earlier in Kerala, Bengaluru, Chhattisgarh and Kolkata, where women delivered in hospital toilets and abandoned newborn.
