In a rather shocking sight, a stray dog was seen carrying the severed head of a baby at Patiala’s government hospital on Tuesday evening. The alarming incident was reported to the authorities and they, very quickly, clarified that no baby was missing from any ward.

Punjab’s health minister took cognisance of the matter and ordered an investigation. As per a report by NDTV, the medical superintendent said the babies in the hospital are accounted for and all the data is well documented. It is likely that someone threw an infant’s body outside the hospital premises, superintendent added.
