"Mother of 'Baby India' denied bond after arrest for leaving newborn in plastic bag in Georgia woods"

A judge denied bond for Karima Jiwani, a Forsyth County mother accused of leaving her newborn daughter in the woods in June 2019. Jiwani was arrested on Thursday almost four years after deputies say she tied her newborn daughter up in a plastic bag and left her in a wooded area a mile away from her home. The child, nicknamed Baby India, was found alive. Police say she is now happy and healthy. Authorities say Jiwani gave birth to the child in her car before driving around for hours and eventually abandoning the baby.

Mother arrested years later for abandoning newborn in plastic bag.

Karima Jiwani, a 40-year-old woman with a history of concealed pregnancies, has been arrested and charged with attempt to commit murder, cruelty to children in the first degree, reckless abandonment, and other charges, almost four years after a newborn was found abandoned in the woods in Forsyth County. The baby, known as "Baby India," was discovered by neighbors in June 2019 and has since been adopted. The sheriff thanked the community for their support and said that Baby India is now "prosperous, happy, and healthy." Jiwani will make her first appearance at the Forsyth County jail on Saturday morning.
