Warangal: A newborn baby was found partially eaten by stray dogs on the premises of State-run MGM Hospital on Friday.
The police personnel posted at the hospital found stray dogs eating the newborn at a secluded place in the hospital premises and chased away the canines. It was not clear whether the baby was alive or dead and how it came to be in that spot. Since the dogs had eaten the lower part of the body, it has become difficult to identify whether the child was a baby boy or a girl.
Matwada police on receiving information shifted the mutilated baby to the MGM Hospital for postmortem. The police are examining the CCTV footage of the hospital and investigating whether someone abandoned the newborn at the hospital.
Meanwhile, MGH Superintendent Dr Murali said nobody in the hospital had lost their baby. Stray dogs might have brought the baby from somewhere in the surroundings, he added.
