WARNING – DISTRESSING IMAGES: The unnamed baby, who also had no ears, passed away a day after he was born at home
A baby boy who was born with massive bulging eyes and only holes in place of his nose died as his desperate parents waited for a miracle to save him.
The unnamed baby, who also had no ears, passed away a day after he was born at home to mother Karishma in Aligarh, a remote village in Uttar Pradesh, northern India.
The shocked mother had not breastfed the child as he kept ‘staring at her’ all the time.
Instead his heartbroken parents had attempted to spoonfeed him milk as villagers flocked to their home to catch a glance of the ‘alien’.

Karishma said: “He was breathing properly and he was healthy. He had healthy limbs but his face was not formed properly.
“I was so shocked that I could not dare breastfeed him. We had given him milk with a spoon.
“He was doing fine and slept but did not wake up next morning. There was no movement he had not even cried. It was around 4am next morning.”
The boy born to Karishma and her husband Arshad, who also have a two-year-old daughter, had been touted as an alien by villagers because of his mysterious looks.

But the unfazed couple were determined to raise their baby and were planning to take him to doctors for treatment.
Arshad, a painter, said: “His birth was God’s will and he took him from us. We have no complaints.
“We did not even get time to take him to doctors. We are heartbroken but what life would he have lived anyway had he survived.

“We were thrilled to have a second child and were delighted when we saw it was a boy but all our joy turned into agony when we saw his face.
“People kept flocking to our house to catch a glimpse of him thinking he is an alien but we had decided to raise him up.
“Now that he is gone we can only remember him in our memories.”
His dad said previously that he would never abandon their son.
He said: “God has given him to us. We will not abandon him.
“We will take care of him as long as he survives.”
