A baby boy born with two heads has been dubbed a "gift from God".
With two heads and a single body, the unnamed boy was born to parents Nasreen, 30, and Naseem Mohammad, 34.
They only discovered the malformation during an ultrasound scan the day before he was born, local sources claim.
The proud pair - who have four other children - apparently told doctors they were "ready to accept a child under any circumstances".
The baby was born via C-section in SP Hospital in Yamunanagar, Haryana, India, on Wednesday but tragically only survived a few hours.

Doctors said the baby was a 'miraculous child' while the parents said he was a 'wonderful gift of god'."
