THIS is the horrific moment a newborn baby was found abandoned among rocks with a stone stuffed in his mouth and his lips glued shut to stop him from crying.

The shocking discovery - footage of which is too distressing to show - was made in the Bhilwara district of Rajasthan, India .

Despite the alleged sickening attempt to silence and kill him, the tiny boy miraculously survived.

A local cattle herder stumbled across the infant lying helpless in a pile of stones and rubbish before rushing him to hospital .

The baby was taken to Bijolia Government Hospital where doctors revealed he was only 15 to 20 days old.

Medics found not only a stone jammed inside his mouth, but also rocks placed on his tiny thighs.

Police believe the use of glue and stones was meant to keep the child quiet
