In the Indian state of Chhattisgarh in early November, a female baby was born with three arms.
The girl's third hand is underdeveloped and is only a hand with fingers sticking out from under the armpit of her healthy right hand.
At the same time, the hand is also underdeveloped and has a smaller size than the hands of healthy hands.
The child was born at home in a small village, the mother of the girl was Radhika Sahu. The rumor about an unusual child quickly spread throughout the area.
After that, religious local residents began to come to the house of the girl's parents and demand to show them the miracle baby, calling him the reincarnation of the goddess.
When the child's parents took the girls to the city hospital for examination, it turned out that, with the exception of the third hand, the baby is completely healthy and has no other abnormalities.
It was also found in the hospital that the third hand does not interfere with the child's health, however, doctors recommended removing it, and the sooner the better.
According to doctors, if this is done, the girl will cease to attract unnecessary attention of believers and ordinary people, which will improve the quality of her life.

According to Dr. Singh, a similar anomaly occurs approximately 1 time in a million babies.
The nature of the occurrence of such deformities has not yet been precisely clarified, someone believes that this is the result of a random mutation, while others believe that extra limbs remain after a twin embryo that has died in the womb.
Earlier in India, a similar anomaly was recorded in November 2018. Doctors learned that a seven-month-old baby (also a girl) with 4 arms and 4 legs lives in the Indian state of Meghalaya.
The baby's extra limbs were attached to a growth growing from the abdomen. According to doctors, the anomaly was caused by a twin parasite.
As a result of the successful operation, the extra limbs and abnormal growth were removed.
