Dr Das said, “Normally when two fetuses develop in a woman’s body altogether they get separated after some time. But in this case, due to some medical conditions, it did not happen properly and because of that both the babies are suffering from this rare condition.”

He also said that although he predicted that the babies would be twins, it was only the ultrasound that detected the rare conjoined condition of the twins.
