The police have launched an investigation into the matter.
According to the officials, a woman, hailing from Noida’s Banghel, fell from the staircase at her home. She was rushed to the 50-bed MCH, where the doctors informed the family about the miscarriage. Therefore, they had to abort the fetus, said The Indian Express.
“Doctors informed the family members of the woman that she had suffered a miscarriage. They were outside the hospital and were looking for a cloth to cover it (foetus) before burying it,” said Station House Officer (Phase 2) Vindhyachal Tiwari.
At that time, a dog roaming around came, snatched the foetus, and ran away before the family could process what had happened. The SHO further added that the fetus was recovered later with the help of the locals.
