Doctors at a hospital in Kanpur said the staff named the boy Krishna, because he was found on Janmashtami.
In August, a seven-day-old child was discovered stuck on a tree in Uttar Pradesh's Hamirpur after he was thrown off a bridge by his parents. He had suffered at least 50 wounds, including a severe animal bite on his back, and was taken to a hospital in Kanpur where doctors were not sure whether he would survive.
The child - named Krishna because he was found on Janmashtami, August 26 - may have started life being unwanted, but when he left the hospital completely cured two months later, not one eye was dry because every staff member had become attached to him, said a doctor.
The principal of the Lala Lajpat Rai Hospital in Kanpur (also known as Hallett Hospital) said the boy was referred to the institution by the district hospital in Hamirpur.
