Conservancy workers of Barisal City Corporation recovered the bodies of the unborn babies behind the hospital building around 8:15pm while cleaning it and informed ward master Modasser Ali who later informed police about the matter.

Madasser said interns of the hospital usually do research and examination with the bodies of premature babies, according to UNB.
