Declared dead, newborn found alive at graveyard in J-K’s Ramban district

A baby girl who was declared dead in a hospital here soon after her birth on Monday was found to be alive when her family was forced to dig up her grave nearly an hour after she was buried, officials said. Locals in the area objected to her burial in their graveyard and insisted she be buried at her ancestral graveyard. The miraculous survival of the just-born girl triggered protests by her relatives against the government, prompting the administration to suspend two employees posted at the labour room, and order a probe, the officials said. Local sarpanch Manzoor Alyas Wani said the baby belonged to Basharat Ahmad Gujjar and Shameema Begum, who had a normal delivery on Monday morning at the sub-district hospital. They hail from Bankoot village, 3 kms from Banihal town of Ramban district.
