An unwed pregnant girl delivered a baby in the toilet of a Turkmenistan Airlines plane coming from Russia here on Thursday and allegedly tried to dispose of the new-born, police said.
During routine checking, the plane crew found the baby in the toilet and issued an alert at the airport, after which the girl was arrested. Police have registered a case under Section 315 of IPC (act done with intent to prevent child being born alive or to cause it to die after birth) against the 22-year-old girl.
The doctors at Escorts Hospital here, where the child was brought with his head stuck in the toilet pot, said the condition of the child was critical.
