Bizarre baby born in Dolakha

By Rajendra Manandhar


Charikot, Dolakha, March 29 - The birth of a bizarre-looking baby in Charikot, the headquarters of Dolakha district, on Wednesday, drew a huge number of onlookers to witness the astonishing sight.
The neck-less baby with its head almost totally sunk into the upper part of the body and with extraordinarily large eyeballs literally popping out of the eye-sockets, was born to Nir Bahadur Karki and Suntali Karki at the Gaurishnkar Hospital in Charikot.

The Karki couple is a permanent resident of Dolakha’s Bhirkot VDC.

The bizarre baby, however, died after half an hour of its birth, Suntali, the mother, informed. It was taken to the hospital after its death.

The news about such a baby being brought to the hospital spread like wildfire and there were hundreds gathered at the hospital to have a look. The police had to be deployed to control the crowd.

“We wouldn’t have been able to save it, even if it had been brought here alive,” said a nurse attending to the mother at the hospital, “This is an extremely abnormal case.”

The “baby” weighed 2kg at birth and was born after the normal nine-month gestation period.

Suntali, already a mother of two normal daughters, was not suffering from any illness during the pregnancy.

Nir Bahadur, the father, says he does not feel any remorse for the newly-born baby’s death. “I am happy that nothing happened to my wife,” he said.

That is one creepy looking thing. I'll have the check Snopes for confirmation on that. Damn, I know I'm going to have a dream about that sometime soon and it won't be pretty.

This maybe an April Fools joke, I check Snopes but nothing there yet. If it's true, you gotta give the kid props if only for the size of his balls. MY GOD!

Apparently, Kanipur is where weird babies are born.

Here's an article:
The baby-girl with four eyes, two noses and two mouths born three days ago died Tuesday evening of medical complications. “The baby developed some breathing difficulties Tuesday evening and died after few hours,” said Sitaram Chaudhary, father to the baby girl.

The baby girl was born to Sitaram Chaudhary and Sambhavati Chaudhary of Hardiya VDC-2 in Saptari district. Thousands of people crowded Chaudhary’s house to pay homage to the girl believing her to be an incarnation of Goddess Bhagwati.
