An Indian woman gave birth to a baby in the lavatory of an international passenger plane and tried to dispose of it down the toilet

The infant was found stuck in the toilet after the plane landed in Amritsar, northern India, and was rushed to hospital still attached to the toilet bowl. 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 was reported to be an unmarried medical student returning home after completing a degree abroad.
