New Zealand woman arrested after travelling with child in suitcase
  Bangla Press Desk: A New Zealand woman was arrested on Sunday after travelling on a bus with a two-year-old girl trapped in her luggage. Detective Inspector Simon Harrison said the woman had been charged with ill-treatment and neglect of a child. Police were called to a bus depot in Kaiwaka -- 100 kilometres (62 miles) north of Auckland -- after the bus driver became concerned about a bag moving during a scheduled stop. "When the driver opened the suitcase, they discovered the two-year-old girl," Harrison said.
"The little girl was reported to be very hot, but otherwise appeared physically unharmed." The luggage had been stored beneath the bus passengers, in a separate compartment. Harrison said the girl is in hospital undergoing an extensive medical assessment. A 27-year-old woman was arrested.
Harrison said the driver prevented "what could have been a far worse outcome". He said further charges are possible. New Zealand's Ministry for Children, Oranga Tamariki, had been notified.
