A dog was spotted carrying the lifeless body of a newborn in its jaws in Rewa town. Police authorities have zeroed-in on their investigation into the Beehar river cremation area. The exact age and gender of the infant remain undetermined, as the lower limbs below the torso were missing. Due to the Holi holiday, the post-mortem might be delayed by two days. The police will thoroughly examine the case to rule out the possibility of foeticide. A video of the incident, reportedly from Tuesday night in Kabadi Mohalla under the Civil Line Police Station, has surfaced and went viral on social media. Eyewitnesses reported that the dog, after scratching the body, appeared to be searching for a place to consume it. Locals chased the animal, forcing it to abandon the body near Jai Stambh intersection before fleeing. This incident echoes similar tragedies in the area. Earlier, a newborn girl’s body was similarly attacked by dogs at Sanjay Gandhi Hospital.
