A 35-year-old Uzbek woman, arrested last year for entering the country without a visa, has given birth to a baby girl at a hospital here, an official said.
The woman, Jurayaba Barno, was arrested on December 9, 2015 when she was staying in Jatkhedi locality of the city. She is at present in judicial custody.
After she complained of pain on March 5, she was taken to Sultania hospital where she gave birth to a baby girl next day, Bhopal Central Jail's superintendent Akhilesh Tomar said.
Barno was six months pregnant when she was brought to the jail, Tomar added.
She arrived in India from Nepal by road and came to Bhopal on December 6 after coming in contact with a man who promised her help in obtaining a visa, according to the police.
