A newborn baby was allegedly been thrown out from the 4th floor of an apartment building in the capital's Bailey Road area on Monday.
Surprisingly, the boy survived the incident, said SI Aminul Islam of Ramna police station.
Beauty Akhter was working as a domestic help at the flat.
Beauty’s employer Firoza Begum earlier told the Dhaka Tribune: “She was working at my house since she was a child. She left the job last year and went to her village home in Sirajganj district. She returned a few months ago and we appointed her again.
“We did not know that she was pregnant. Even we failed to notice it as her body never showed any sign of pregnancy.”
During primary investigation, Beauty admitted that she threw her baby out from the flat, said the SI.
