The baby, who was discovered floating on a mattress in the sea by an Indian national a few days ago, was handed over to the Kazakh ambassador on Saturday.

It was not until Saturday that officials were alerted to the miraculous discovery of the young survivor by the Indian national, who had been caring for the baby for the past few days, sources said.

The little one was in good health, they said adding the baby's parents both died in the tragedy, but that his elder
brother, aged five, survived.
