Dibrugarh: In an astonishing incident, a severed head of a newborn baby was recovered by the Dibrugarh Police near the banks of the Brahmaputra river in the Moinajan area of Dibrugarh on 19 December.
Reportedly, a stray dog was dragging away the newborn baby's severed head which was dumped inside a garbage bin according to police personnel.
