According to information, after a newborn died at the medical college, the body was kept outside the ward. During this time, stray dogs roaming on the premises reached the spot and carried the body away. When people present in the hospital saw the scene, they raised an alarm. After this, chaos spread among staff and others. After the incident came to light, efforts were made to search for the body and bring it back safely.
Such an incident at a sensitive place like a hospital has raised several serious questions.

After the incident, there is a need to investigate the role of the hospital administration and the responsibility of the employees concerned.
