This baby was born with four hands and four legs

                                
Locals in Baruipur, eastern India, believe that a baby boy born with four arms and four legs is the reincarnation of a god.

The baby, named “God Boy”, has attracted curious visitors and travellers from across the region to the city in West Bengal State to have a view of the child. The local police have complained of having a tough time controlling the surging crowd that has come to see the baby at the hospital.

A police spokesman said: “This is a freak baby and it is tragic, there is nothing godly about him at all. But the crowds are going berserk and clamouring to see the child. Hundreds are crying in the streets, hundreds of others are praying and setting up camp here.”

“Some are even panicking and believe this is a sign of the end of the world. I have never seen anything like this in my whole career.”

Meanwhile, the family are ecstatic about the baby, which they have described as the son Hindu God Brahma, who is depicted with eight limbs.

A relative said: “When he first came out we couldn’t believe it, the nurses said he was badly deformed but I could see that this was a sign from God. In fact, this is a miracle, its God’s baby. Indian God’s have extra limbs just like this.”
