The suspects, identified as a nurse, a health assistant, and a security officer employed at the health center, stand accused of colluding to pilfer the placenta. Their defense, incredibly, is that a dog infiltrated the premises and devoured the crucial organ.
The distressing incident came to light when the family of the newborn became increasingly concerned after the health officials adamantly refused to hand over the placenta to either the father or the grandmother. Despite five days elapsing since the delivery, the health workers failed to comply with the family’s request.
