In Short: A 19-year-old student in India was granted bail after allegedly giving birth in a hostel toilet and throwing the newborn from a window, killing it.

A 19-year-old student in India was granted bail after allegedly giving birth in a hostel toilet and throwing the newborn from a window, killing it. The incident occurred early morning on June 23 when the second-year intermediate student experienced sudden labor pains in the hostel washroom.

A hostel staff member reported the incident to the police, leading to the student's arrest on July 1. The court granted bail, stating that the girl must adhere to specific conditions due to the severity of the crime.

The court noted that since a major portion of the investigation was completed, detaining the student further in judicial custody would not serve the purpose for the prosecution. The girl was granted bail, with the condition that the prosecution can seek its cancellation if she violates any of the imposed conditions.

The court's decision was based on the material on record, and the counsel argued that the entire investigation was completed, praying for the girl's release on bail.
