Bones of Newborns Found at Indian Hospital

Local authorities following a tip have found bones and skeletal remains of newborn babies and fetuses at a hospital in the Indian city of Ratlam.
Experts identified up to four fetuses among the remains found Saturday at Christian Hospital in Ratlam, prompting discussions of possible abortions taking place, the Press Trust of India said.
The thickness of skulls and bones indicates that the remains were of around three to four neonates or fetuses, district Vaccination Officer RG Kaushal said.
Other evidence suggested that at least some of the bones were buried since the area's last rainy season, while the skeletal remains ruled out any claims that the discovered pit was merely medical waste.
The hospital had no comment on the discovery. Samples had been sent out to a state forensic laboratory for further testing.
