Bhopal, March 13 (NationPress) In a disturbing event, a dog was seen carrying the lifeless body of a newborn in its mouth in the town of Rewa. The police have narrowed their investigation to the Beehar river cremation site, a location where infants and newborns are frequently interred.
According to a senior police official in Rewa, the post-mortem report is awaited for further clarity on the case.
The officer mentioned that the infant's precise age and gender are still unknown, as the lower limbs beneath the torso were missing. Due to the Holi holiday, the post-mortem might be postponed by two days.
The police are committed to thoroughly investigating the case to eliminate the possibility of foeticide. This unsettling occurrence has attracted widespread attention.
A video capturing the event, reportedly from Tuesday night in Kabadi Mohalla under the Civil Line Police Station, has gone viral on social media.
Investigators are currently reviewing CCTV footage from the vicinity and interrogating nearby residents. Within a 2-km radius of the incident, four private nursing homes are under scrutiny, as revealed by the police officer.

Witnesses reported seeing the dog, after scratching at the body, seemingly searching for a place to consume it. Locals chased the animal, compelling it to leave the body near the Jai Stambh intersection before fleeing.
The police were notified and retrieved the remains late at night, echoing similar tragic incidents in the area.
