Police have started a probe after a private school in Sagar district was found to be in possession of a human foetus, an official said on Saturday.
A member of the Madhya Pradesh Child Rights Commission has lodged a police complaint against the school, situated in Bina town, in this regard.
MPCRC member Omkar Singh Thakur said that following a complaint, a two-member MPCRC committee on April 6 paid a surprise visit to the school and found that the biology laboratory had a human foetus kept in a jar.
When asked how they got hold of it, the school management could not give a satisfactory answer, he claimed.
While medical colleges have such preserved foetuses, permission is needed for other organisations for keeping them, Mr Thakur said.
Bina police station in-charge Kamal Nigwal said a probe has been started on the basis of the report forwarded by the MPCRC, though no First Information Report has been registered yet.
