Male Newborn Infant Found In Turkmenistan Airlines Toilet En Route To Amritsar, India
A distraught new mother apparently tried to dispose of her newborn baby boy after giving birth to the baby on a Turkmenistan Airlines flight between Ashkhabad and Amritsar.
The new born baby was discovered wedged in the toilet after the plane landed in Amritsar.

HP Singh, a doctor at the Escorts Hospital near the airport, said that a team of surgeons used a saw cutter to remove the newborn's head from the toilet.

The mother, a medical student, studying in Belaurs was returning to her home town in the Punjab.

She initially refused to accept the child as hers but later broke down and admitted to it. She was on her way back to Hoshiarpur after completing her doctor’s degree in Belarus. She was examined by doctors at the airport while the infant was rushed to hospital where his condition was declared ‘normal’. The baby had not been fed for long and doctors said quick medical intervention saved the baby

The family returned with their daughter to the village of Hoshiarapur.
