According to the reports, the housewife used to have a protruded stomach thus nobody was aware that she was pregnant.

However, her act did not remain unnoticed as her brother-in-law who went to the toilet realized that it was chocked and that water did not flush the waste.
Thus, the man dipped his hand into the toiled to find a placenta inside. Terrified, he started shouting and attracted the neighbours’ attention. Soon many people gathered at the scene and removed the corpse of a baby from the toilet.
