India newborn found alive in shallow grave now thriving

A premature newborn baby found buried alive in a clay pot in northern India has fully recovered, her doctor says. She was brought to hospital in a critical condition, suffering from septicaemia and a dangerously low platelet count in mid-October. She has now gained weight and breathing and platelet counts are normal, her paediatrician Ravi Khanna told the BBC. Her parents have not been traced and she will be put up for adoption after a mandatory wait period.
