Police rescued a newborn baby in Kerala after it was left abandoned in a bucket hours after the delivery. This incident took place in Kotta, a village under the Aranmula police station limit in Pathanamthitta district.
This incident came to light when a woman sought treatment for bleeding at a nursing home in Chengannur after delivering the baby in her home. When doctors questioned the woman, they got to know about the abandoned baby and they informed the police.
The woman’s 9 year old son informed the police that the baby was kept in a bucket in the bathroom in the house. Police rushed to the spot, rescued the baby and took it to the nursing home. After getting initial treatment, the newborn was shifted to the Government Medical College Hospital in Kottayam.
