Newborn’s body found mutilated by stray dogs in Asifabad

The body of an abandoned newborn was mutilated by stray dogs at Dimda village on Thursday, creating a stir.

Locals said that the body of the newborn was dumped by some unidentified persons on the outskirts of the village. They noted that the body was mauled by stray dogs. They alerted local police who in turn began a probe into the



incident.

Residents suspected that a woman might have dumped the body after delivering the infant without being married to a man, fearing the social stigma associated with an out-of-wedlock pregnancy.

However, police reportedly focused on all possible angles including individuals who abandoned the newborn and the motive behind the act.
