The horror of it all
Newborn baby girl pulled from shallow grave in India, survives in hospital
While digging a grave for their stillborn baby girl, a family in India has found a newborn baby girl buried, but alive.
She'd been wrapped in cloth and placed inside a clay pot, before being buried two feet underground.
Doctors said the girl was born prematurely and had probably been buried for two days before being unearthed by the gravediggers.
Female infanticide occurs in parts of India due to a preference for sons over daughters, and the nation has one of the most lopsided sex ratios in the world.
