Karnataka,Apr 3: The body of a newborn was found being dragged around by a dog near the maternity ward of a government hospital in Karnataka’s Shivamogga district on Saturday.

Security guards at McGann district hospital said they chased away the dog after they noticed it was running around the hospital’s maternity ward carrying what appeared to be a newborn baby in its mouth at around 7am on Saturday.

The incident has prompted civic authorities to review the menace of stray dogs in the city. The child was already dead by the time it was taken for examination.

Officials are now trying to find out whether the newborn died before the dog bite or as a result of it. The identity of the child’s parents remains unknown.

A police complaint has been filed and the exact time of the infant’s death will only be known after the postmortem. Officials have started to check all nearby private and government hospitals to verify records of pregnant women.
