Puttur, Nov 20: A tenth standard girl student gave birth to a female baby through normal delivery. A person named as accused has been taken into custody by the Uppinangady police for questioning.
The parents of the said girl student of a high school who found that the abdominal region of the girl seemed like increasingly swelling over the past weeks, felt that some kind of tumour was developing inside. They therefore admitted her into a hospital where the doctors said she was pregnant and her delivery date was expected soon. On Thursday, she gave birth to a female child in normal delivery in a hospital near Mangaluru.
