Residents of a Tamil Nadu town were horrified to witness a group of dogs attacking a bundle, only to discover that it contained the bodies of two female babies. The incident took place in Mettuppatti, Dindigul district, where passers-by noticed the dogs fighting over something in a trash bin. Upon closer inspection, the gruesome discovery of the infants’ remains was made. Tragically, the dogs had already started to eat the bodies, with one of the babies even missing its head. The police were called to the scene to investigate, and the remains were subsequently sent to the district hospital for an autopsy. Authorities are now in search of the person responsible for abandoning the babies in such a heart-wrenching manner.

The Athichudi serves as a guide for children, offering valuable life advice. During the event, the pupils not only memorized the verses but also understood their meaning.
