Bhopal, March 15 (NationPress) In another disturbing incident, stray dogs were spotted carrying the remains of a newborn baby into the government hospital in Madhya Pradesh's Khargone district, according to police reports.
This marks the second such occurrence within just three days.
On Saturday afternoon, in a distressing event at Khargone District Hospital, these stray dogs were observed with the lifeless body of the neonate.
Even more alarming was the discovery that the infant's body had been found with a severed leg, hand, and neck.
It is feared that the dogs may have already consumed some of the body parts.
Rohit Lakhare, the Sub-Divisional Police Officer, stated that a comprehensive investigation is underway.
Investigative teams have been dispatched to collect information, and all records of baby deliveries at the hospital during the past week have been requisitioned.
Authorities are also analyzing CCTV footage from the hospital and nearby areas.
The police official dismissed the notion that the infant was the result of an abortion or foeticide, citing the full development of the body, and confirmed that both doctors and hospital personnel are being interrogated.
Initial inquiries imply that the infant may have been born in the hospital's maternity ward before a family member abandoned the deceased body in an open space.
The officer mentioned that the stray dogs were spotted carrying the body around 3:30 p.m., and upon receiving this alarming news, the Jaitapur police swiftly arrived at the scene to secure the body in the post-mortem room.
A panel of doctors will perform an autopsy on the remaining parts of the body to gather further insights.

Authorities suspected that the body might have been excavated by dogs from a nearby cremation site near the Beehar river in Rewa.
