A similar incident had occurred outside the hospital last year in August, when stray dogs were found eating the body of a newborn.
A dog was seen eating the body of a stillborn baby outside a district hospital in Madhya Pradesh's Ashoknagar. The hospital has ordered an inquiry in the shocking incident. A sanitation worker spotted the dog with the body of the newborn and chased him away.
Dr DK Bhargava, Civil Surgeon at the Ashoknagar hospital told NDTV, "We got the information in the morning. We have now kept the body safely in the post-mortem room and have also informed the police. In earlier cases, we have seen that family members do not bury the dead bodies of newborns properly. They throw away the body in haste."
A similar incident had occurred outside the hospital last year in August, when stray dogs were found eating the body of a newborn.
Locals claim that this is the fourth such incident in the last two years.
