Baby born with eight limbs

''When he first came out we couldn't believe it. The nurses said he was badly deformed but I could see that this was a sign from God.''

A baby has been born with eight limbs.

The little boy has been hailed as an Indian God after being born with four arms and four legs in a village in West Bengal, and crowds of people are now queuing up to see him.

The newborn's condition is believed to have been cause by his twin being joined to him in the womb but while many were crying and praying at the news, others are said to have thought it was a sign of the end of the world.

A relative of the baby told a local TV station in eastern India: ''When he first came out we couldn't believe it. The nurses said he was badly deformed but I could see that this was a sign from God.''
