Baby born with 4 arms and 4 legs attracts worshippers who has named him ‘god boy’

A couple was devastated to see their newborn child with four arms and four legs. But residents in the area, the eastern part of India, are flocking to the new baby boy as they believe that he is the reincarnation of a god.

The child has been nicknamed “God Boy” by those who believe that he shares a lineage with Hindu supernatural beings since the gods of the Hindu religion are often depicted with multiple legs.

People have traveled through the region of Baruipur to get a glimpse of the boy. Police said that it is becoming difficult to contain the crowd. The crowd go crazy every time

they see the child.

Police said "Hundreds of people are crying in the streets and hundreds of people are praying near the child. Some people even believe that baby’s arrival is a sign that the end of the world is near."

Medical experts reports that the child’s birth defect was the result of an underdeveloped twin, a condition known

as a parasitic twin.

His family is now thrilled with all the attention and has stated that he is indeed the son of Brahma, the Hindu god of creation often depicted with eight limbs.

“The nurse called the baby deformed, but

we called him God,” a believer in the boy

said.
