Daltonganj: Locals on Sunday spotted stray dogs nibbling at the body parts of a dead infant at Medinirai Medical College and Hospital here. The incident created a flutter in the area, following which civil surgeon John F Kennedy said the dogs must have brought the parts from outside.
Deputy superintendent of the hospital K N Singh said, “There was one intrauterine death of an infant in the labour room on Sunday and the parents took the body for burial. Barring this, there was no other death of infant either in the labour room or in the child ward on Sunday.”
Kennedy said the dogs were seen nibbling parts of a dead infant’s body, which means they must have got it from some nursing home in the vicinity.
