FIR Filed After Stray Dog Found Carrying Fetus at Jharkhand Hospital PremisesPreviousNext

In Jharkhand's Palamu district, an FIR was filed against multiple hospital staff after a stray dog was seen carrying the remains of a nearly eight-month-old fetus on hospital premises. The fetus belonged to a 16-year-old girl who underwent an abortion at a nearby private facility. Authorities are investigating the circumstances of the abortion, disposal of the remains, and compliance with legal procedures. The private hospital and ultrasound center involved have been sealed, and police are reviewing CCTV footage as part of the probe.
