A woman from Madagascar was arrested by the Mauritius police officials for allegedly abandoning her newborn baby in the rubbish bin of an Air Mauritius flight, news agency BBC reported. The 20-year-old Malagasy woman, who is suspected to have given birth to the baby in the flight, underwent a test which confirmed that she was the mother of the baby.
Officials at the Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport discovered the child in the bin of the Air Mauritius plane, which arrived from Madagascar on New Year’s Day, during a routine check. The newborn child and the mother are reported to be safe and in good health, BBC further said in a report. The baby was also rushed to the hospital upon discovery.
