• Share on:

Karima Jiwani, 41, has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for the attempted murder and first-degree cruelty to children of her newborn daughter, who was found abandoned in a plastic bag in Forsyth County in 2019. Jiwani's arrest in May 2023 followed forensic genetic genealogy that traced her from the baby's father. The infant, known as Baby India, was discovered by a family returning home from vacation, and she was later adopted; details about her current situation remain private to protect her identity.
