According to doctors, the baby has a rare condition known as Progeria which causes wrinkles on the face, shrunken body and hollow eyes.

One of the doctors said this about the baby:

“The baby does not look like a newborn at all. There are prominent signs of ageing such as excessive wrinkled and rough skin texture.”
