After giving birth at home, a woman went to the hospital while still bleeding and told the staff about the baby, who she had put in a bucket in the bathroom. Authorities at the hospital notified the police, who immediately travelled to the woman’s home in Kerala’s Alapuzha district. Afterwards, the infant, who was covered in a piece of fabric, is seen being saved by the police officers running with the bucket.
