SRINAGAR, Dec 17: Moved by the plight of a dumped baby, a stray dog on Thursday set an example of empathy much larger than human beings when it took the dead baby into its mouth near LD hospital and left him outside a mobile shop adjacent to Press Enclave.
Panic gripped trendy Residency Road here, with people looking surprisingly towards each other after a 'canine mother' left an abandoned male baby outside a mobile shop few yards away from Press Enclave here.
They said that the stray dog had found the dead baby outside Valley's lone maternity Lala Ded hospital at around 10 am.
Eyewitnesses who had chased the dog right from the Lala Ded hospital told Early Times that the dog after finding the baby somewhere on road carefully took him into its mouth and began running towards Lal Chowk.
They said that the new born was a male baby and was left by unknown people on the road probably during the dead of the night.
"We were crestfallen to see a stray dog taking dead baby in her mouth, it was in the morning when some shopkeepers and passerby started chasing the dog who had carried the baby in her mouth," Mudasir, an eyewitness, said.
He said that the people started chasing the dog and relentlessly followed it till it dropped the dead baby near Press Enclave.
"We initially thought that the dog will eat the baby, however she left everyone by surprise when she licked the blood stained dead body before leaving the scene," Mohammad Rajab, a street vendor, said.
He said that police team of Kothibagh police station later reached the spot and carried off the dead infant for analysis.
A senior police official claimed that the body was later taken to Police Control Room for necessary tests wherein his last rites were also performed.
"He was taken for necessary inquiry to ascertain whether the baby was born in Lala Ded hospital or was really abandoned, they might also conduct his DNA sampling there," he said.
When contacted Medical Superintendent LD Hospital, Mushtaq Ahmad denied the reports that the baby was found lying near the hospital.
"There is no question of negligence form our side, you can come here and check all the records whether there was any patient who delivers the dead baby," he told Early Times. |
