After the incident, the nurse and another colleague brought the baby’s torso to the hospital’s mortuary in Ramgarh in Rajasthan’s Jaisalmer district.

The mother was then taken to Jawahar Hospital after staff said there had been a ‘complication’ during the difficult delivery.

Dr. Ravindra Sankhla, a gynecologist at Jawahar Hospital, told Hindustan Times that the staff at the health care center informed him that they had completed the delivery but the placenta was still in the mother’s womb.

He realized something was ‘horribly wrong’ when he tried to remove the placenta.

Doctors conducted an operation and discovered the fetus’ head in the womb. They informed the woman’s family members and relatives.

A case has been opened against the two male nurses but authorities are yet to arrest and charge them.
